Addressed.

That Fred. Durr, hotelkeeper, coun-
Gilman and general good fellow, Is we'll
known, is a fact. and a recent happen
ing more than carries out the truth Of
the assertion. A few days ago Mr..

Two ID. q M. freight trains collided at
the coal dock near the Junction Monday
evening at eleven O'CLOCK. The engines did
not leave the track but were badly smashed
and some fifteen cars are In various condi-
tons of arrangement.
Engine No. 215 and about thirty cars with
engineer Jerry Vose and fireman AL. Ed
monds stood in the yards ready TO 90 west,
while engine No. 2l3 with about twenty
cars was coming down the grade from the
man II. johnson. Engineer Vose saw that
the other train did not stop at its usual
place and that 1t was coming down the grade
at pretty lively gait, reversed his engine
and tried to avert collision. Seeing that
1t was too late he aud the fireman jumped
from the cab. Engine No. 213 struck the
other engine and rebounded twice, the third
collision fastening them together. Engine

telescoped until Tuesday evening

Tuesday morning and set to work clearing
away the wreck. Trainmaster Hooper,
Master Wrecker Boyle and Travelling En-.
gineer Dingwel directed the work.
The west-bound engine suffered the least
but is minus its smokestack, headlight and
cow-catcher. The east-bound engine got
the worst of it, decidedly. Its cab was
piled on top of the steam-chest, the cow
catcher and its wood work are in splinters
and the boiler covering is badly ripped and

For Auditor General.

From the State Republican.
For some months il has been an open
secret among the friends of Mr.. o. @. Temp
kins that his name was liable to be present.
ed to the next republican state convention
for nomination as the successor of Hon.
Stanley w. Turner in the Office. of auditor
general, but no formal announcement OF his
intentions have ever been made by Mr..
Tompkins. Today the Republican is re-
llably informed that Mr.. Tompkins has
entered the field as a candidate for the posi-
ton of auditor general, subject to the action
of the next republican state convention, and
will make canvass to that end. MIR Temp
kins is so widely known in Michigan, both
personally and through his political con-
nections, that he needs no introduction.
Although born in New York, his childhood
and youth were spent in southern Michi-
gan, and he entered active life as printer,
having served an apprenticeship on the
Hillsdale Standard. He was subsequently
connected with the Marshall Statesman, and
was for some years its editor and publisher,
but retired from newspaper work because
of iii health, after some Is years experience,
taking position as deputy warden at
the jackson penitentiary under Warden
Hatch. Upon the completion of the Mar
quette prison he was appointed warden by
Gov. Luce and held that position until the
advent of the Winans administration, when
he removed to Detroit residing there until '93,
when he accepted an appointment as state
accountant from Auditor General Turner, a
position which he has since filed in a salts
factory manner.
From early manhood Mr.. Tompkins has
been known as an active and aggressive
partisan in the republican ranks. He has
been repeatedly honored by election to posi-
tons of trust within county and city orga-
nizations, and was member of the republic
can state central committee for four years;
but he has never before aspired to respon-
sibe public Office through the suffrage of his
party. The Republican understands that
his claims are being strongly urged by his
MANY friends.

Poor Indeed.
many frien

There are degrees and kinds of poverty,
Just as there are differences of opinion
among those who compute and measure
poverty and riches by different standards.
Some men deem themselves poor because
they are less rich than others, again there
are comparatively poor people who are sat
isfied with competence. There Is kind
of poverty for which no amount of wealth
can compensate, namely, poverty of bodi-
ly stamina, evinced by nervousness and a
arrangement of the functions of digestion,
bilious secretion and the bowels. To re-
store vigor upon permanent basis there is
one remedy that fully covers the require
ments, fills the BILL" and this is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters BY restoring digestion,
giving healthful impulse to the action of
the bowels and liver and tranquilizing the
nerves, it ful6lls the condition necessary to
a resumption of strength by the system. II
also overcomes malaria and rheumatism.

If anything were needed to add to the
convincing evidence that the Wilson Cor
man-Brice law is not success, that evil
dence is furnished by comparison showing
the operations of the Wilson law in its first
year and half alongside the Mckinley law
in corresponding period of time, says the
Grand Rapids Herald. This comparison
made from official figures, gives the customs
receipts. the internal receipts and the total
receipts under the Wilson law at less, in its
first eighteen months, than they were In
the first eighteen months OF the Mckinley
. law-als0 that even in the throes OF Its dis
solution, the Mckinley law in Its last
eighteen months produced more revenue
than has the Wilson law in the eighteen
months it has been in operation. Not only
has the Wilson law been inefficient In pro-
ducing revenue, but ii has also reduced the
amount of free importation while greatly
increasing the amount of dutiable imports:
