FEWER DEER HUNTERS.
Not So Many Licenses Taken Out I'm Mich
igan as a Year Ago.


Marquette, Mich, Nov. 9.-This years
slaughter of deer in Marquette county
will probably not equal that of year
ago. Under the new law the season is a
few days shorter, from the 9Th till the
30th instead Of from the list to the 25tii.
The main reason for expecting a re-
duction in numbers is that there have
been taken out so far hardly more than
half as many licenses as were taken out
a year ago. For the season Of 1896 there
were S57 licenses issued in this county
alone. In some counties the number ran
far In excess Of this.
There are reported to be as many deer
as usual and the sport ought to be as
good as 1t has any year Of late. There
have been no arrests reported in this
section of the peninsula for illegal hunt
ing yet, but the common belief is that
1t has been going on. The appearance
Of ripe" meat within a day or two aft
err the season opens will be a tolerably
accurate proof.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST TO OUR
READERS.

Important Happenings i'm the State During
the Past Few DAYS Reported by Teie-
graph-Matter Selected for the Benefit oil
Our Own People.
Lansing, Mich. Nov. 10.-In his blanks
for the annual reports to be made I'D
January next by all manufacturing ana
mercantile corporations doing business
In Michigan Secretary Of State Gardner
will include questions designed to do
away with the endless chain system OF
indorsing. This change in blanks is due
to the recommendation made by Govern
or Rich in his retiring message, which
read as follows:
1.-The experience of the last two or
three years has demonstrated that there
is little use to regulate banks In regard
to loans to corporations unless there Is
also some regulation in regard to cor
porations so far as the character or
their inoorsers and the relations which
the indorsers bear to the corporations
are concerned. The law prohibits banks
from loaning more than 10 per cent. OF
their capital stock to any one firm or
corporation, but the law is evaded by
making the papers In different form,
but with the same resp cnsibility. The
corporation makes the paper and some
member of the corporation indorses, and
In another instance some member is the
maker and the corporation becomes the
indorser."
Secretary of State Gardner has taken
advantage of provision Of the old law,
and has added the following items to the
blanks for the next annual reports:
THE amount for which members Of
the corporation are indorsers for the
corporation
THE amount for which the corpora
ton is indorser for members Of the COR
poration."
1.-THE amount for which the corpora
ton is indorser for other corporations"
'The amount for which the corpora
tion is indorser for persons not members
thereof"
1t Is believed that requiring sworn
reports of these items, which will be
open for public inspection, will do away
with the practice

There has been no marked changes
since Sunday and yellow jack has lost

greatly elated over the gratifying turn
of affairs. Good news has been re-

dicted that trade will have assumed its
normal condition by the middle of the

The alarming increase in the number
OF deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and strong sentiment against
such methods of treatment is fast de-
veloping among the most intelligent
classes. 1t seems that in almost every
case where the doctors treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-

performed, and the keen blade of the
surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
The many caustic plasters which are
applied to remove cancers are more pain
full than death, and the danger of sur
gical operation is as great as the disease
itself. No plaster or surgical oper-
alton can cure cancer, because it Is
blood disease; the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, and cannot be
cut out, or removed by local treatment.
As the disease must be forced from the
blood, It is only reasonable to rely upon
real blood remedy for a cure, one
which goes direct to the cause of the
trouble and removes it.

known cure for cancer and other obsti-
nate and deep-seated blood diseases such
as Scrofu1a, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheuma-

END OF THE CHICAGO HORSE SHOW
Great Success from q Social and Equine
Standpoint--Financial Loss.

btahupO1hC--F1hHh LOSE.
Chicago, Nov. s. = Sixteen thousand
people paid their way into the horse
show in the Coliseum Saturday night.
On all hands the show is declared to
have been brilliant success-eclipsing
anything seen in New York. The at
tendance has been large also, it being
stated that $1,000 people saw 1t during
the six days of it's existence.
But 1t is also said that the guarantors
will have to make up about $4,000 that
Is the gap between the receipts and ex-
penditures. The whole result is de-
clared by the managers to mean that
Chicago will have a greater horse show
for next year, one in which the state
board Of agriculture will take no part,
but which in every respect shall sur
pass this.

TRIES TO BUY s125,ooo BAIL.
Unique scheme Devised by Ex-Treasurer
BARLEY of Omaha.

Omaha. Neb., July 27.-Ex- Treasurer
BARLEY. who is in jail here awaiting the
result of his appeal to the supreme court
on his sentence of twenty years in the
penitentiary for looting the state treas
ury, has resorted to a novel scheme to
secure a bond. The amount required
by the courts order to secure his tenn
porary liberty is Sl25,00O. He has been
unable to secure this in the regular way
and has started out to buy his bond out
right. Men have been sent into different
wards of the city with offers of so for
each $1,000 of surety signed. In this
manner 100000 has been secured in
small amounts ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000
Some persons think that II is nothing
but a plot to enable BARLEY to get
chance to escape, and pressure is being
brought to bear to prevent the bond be-
ing accepted If offered In its present
shane
