RuRNED TO ASHES.

A house on the north side belonging
to the Bedding Building and Loan as
sociation and occupied by Oscar Hatch
took fire at an early hour Saturday
morning and was entirely consumed.
Mr.. Hatch was not at home but his
wife and daughter were there and the
latter arose at one o'clock to wait on
her mother who was sick. Ia passing
up stars with a lighted lamp the door
blew shut and knocked it from her
hand, the oil Immediately igniting and
spreading over the floor. Miss Hatch 5
clothes took fire and it was with con-
siderable effort on the part of her
mother that she was saved from a Sc
we're burning.
1t was impossible to put out the fire,
and but very little of the contents were
saved Mr.. Hatch says ten dollars
would cover all that was gotten out.
Only a few years ago he suffered loss
by fire in the house now occupied by
DR.. Ferguson. His household goods
were insured for 5000 and that amount
was also carried on the building in
agencies represented by Adam Wag-

THE FARMERS YEAR.
The Outlook Brighter Than for Quite u
Number of Years.

1t looks now as though the coming
season is TO be the farmers year SO far
as profitable grain growing is con
cerned. A careful resume of the wheat
situation from all standpoints includes
the strongest statistical position at the
beginning of the new crop in years.
This fact is a most important one.
Not infrequently grain prices advance
out of farmers hands, they securing
but little benefit from the higher
range of values. This year the out
look Is promising, subject, OF course,
to possible disappointments, for per-
manent strength in the market, the
profit accruing from the higher range
of quotations going directly into the
hands of producers, just where it ought
TO 60 At the same time it is TO be
hoped the price may not be forced,
through manipulation, to such a high
level that later reaction may prove
disastrous. Wheat has been for months
selling relatively higher than other
cereals.
Indications now point to a home
wheat crop 100 million bushels larger
than last year, yet prices today are II
TO ID cents higher than in August last
year. Surely change has taken place
of great significance. Following our
phenomenal crop of 1891, wheat pro-
duction in this country has been only
moderate, yet failed to arrest the
downward course of prices until last
fall. A reason for this may be found
in studying the course of the worlds
production As reported in the Liver
pool Corn Trade News, an undoubted
authority, the worlds crop of wheat,
beginning with 1892, was 2440 millions,
increasing in spite OF relative short
ages in this country to 1853 millions in
1894, but decreasing subsequently until
now it appears probable that 1897 will
show a liberal surplus for export in
the United States only These facts
90 far to indicate why decreases in our
own crop, until now, have failed to
check the downward price tendency.
But with fair probability that the
United States and Russia will form the
only wheat surplus countries for months
to come the advantage rests largely
with our own wheat growers. Other
farm produce, sympathizing in no mean
degree with wheat values, taken with
evidences of returning industrial pros
perity, the outlook for American agri-
culture is unquestlonably brighter than
for several years.-Orange Judd Far

Meet at Baldwin Lake July goth.

The Russell Family Held Their Yearly
Meet at Baldwin Lake July Goth.
AT an early hour last Thursday,
baskets and people began to assemble
for the Russell family annual, baskets
filled with tempting viands and people
filled with good cheer. 1t was a great
day and one long to be remembered.
There were over one hundred present,
although many from other parts of the
state who attended last year were un-
able to be present this time, among
them being Fred j.. Russell and family
of Hart, Eugene Russell of Luther, +.
r. Clark of Ensley, E. r. Reed and
family of Grand Rapids, Julia Varnum
Of Vassar, l.. III. Russell of Lapeer,
Miss Bessie Reynolds of oxford, Jud-
son Loomis of Hobert, N. b. Stevens
of Howard City, Geo. Steele and fam
lily Of st Johns, Bingley II. Fales of
Detroit. The only survivors of Josiah
Russell are Lyman Russell of Luther
who was present and Mrs. Seth Reed
OF Gaylord, whose health did not per-
nit of the Journey here.
After partalking of bountiful repast
the association held q business meet
ing, electing the following officers:
r. l.. Russell, president; Bingley Rus
sell, vice president; Mrs. M. A. Filkins,
secretary; Chas. Russell, chairman Of
the executive committee.
Baldwin Lake was selected as the
psace OF the next meeting and the third
Thursday In June the time, when IL is
hoped to see many more OF the rela-
tives present.
Among all the descendants, number
ing about three hundred, there has not
occurred death in the past year.

THE STATE TEACHERS INSTITUTE

For Ionia county will be held at lonia,
commencing at 10 o'clock a. m, Mon
day, August 80, and closing at p. M,
Friday, September 3. Commissioner
+. B. Hale, Ionia, local committee.
A good institute is Of inestimable
value to the teacher and to the person
preparing to enter the profes sion. 1t
gives inspiration and suggestion to the
progressive teacher, and leads the
novice to prepare more thoroughly and
hold higher ideals OF the teachers
work. A good institute is a genial,
lively, methodical, systematic, orderly,
enthusiastic school Instructors have
been selected who have had much
practical experience in the school
room and know how to give others a
portion OF what they have thus learned.
1t is confidently expected that this will
be one of the best Institutes ever held
in the county
The work will combine professional
and academic instruction. The insti-
tute will be divided into sections; and
the instructors will conduct classes for
the purpose of reviewing some studies,
and also to illustrate up-to-date
methods of instruction. The workers
have been urged to arrange for calls
thenic exercises, singing. marching,
and the like, SO as to make the work
move off cheerily and without fatigue.
The institute law allows teachers,
whose schools are in session at the
time appointed for the county institute
held under the direction of the state
superintendent, to close their schools
during the continuance of such insti-
tute, without forfeiting their wages,
for as many half days as they are in at
tendance at the institute.
There will be no enrolment fee, and
every teacher or would-be teacher
should arrange to attend every session.
Try TO be at the first session.
Full particulars in regard to board
ETC., may be obtained upon application
to the local committee.

The misunderstanding and threat
ened unpleasantness between Japan
and the Hawaiian government, over
the immigration question, it is said,
will be submitted to a court Of arbitra-
tion. Hawaii selects the President Of
the United States as its arbitrator; but
in all probability Japan will not con-
sent to the selection. Those who claim
to know say that Japan is willing to
arbitrate, but will not consent to the
choice OF either the United States or
England as arbitrator. They say that
those two countries are already allied
in the matter and are consequently
not competent

A REMARKABLE DEAL.
Wife Traded for Thirty Acres OF Land-Ne-
gotiations Opened In Beiding and
Closed up at Fowlerville.

| Closed up at Fowlerville.
The Detroit Journal OF Friday con
tanned the following: "Wm. Johns and
Mrs. Wesley Worters, under the name
OF Jessie Barton, were married at Fow-
lerville yesterday afternoon. She filed
divorce on July II, but If granted the
fact has not been made public. On
July 27 the husband and wife signed a
written agreement to live apart, it is
said dividing their property and agreed
that either should have the right to
marry without hindrance from the
other. Yesterday Johns decided 80 acres
of land to Mr.. Worters, which fact has
created much comment. 4 Ill concerned
are young and residents of Conway town
ship. 1t is said Mrs. Worters met Johns
while on visit to Webberville early
this month, and that they became in
fatuated with each other. F"
Mrs. Worters was the wife of Wesley
Worters OF this city, who is night
watchman at the Richardson Silk
Co. She with her husband came to
the office OF +. b. Lapham last week
Wednesday and stated that they had
come to mutual understanding and
agreement to separate and live apart
and desired to have papers drawn up
to that effect. They recited what the
understanding was between them
whereupon the papers were drawn EN-
bodying the terms of the contract and
were signed by each in duplicate.
VIM. T. Johns of Conway was pres
ent and signed the documents as wit
ness and also had a warranty deed
made running to Mr.. Worters, convey
ing thirty acres of land in the town
ship of Conway.
The papers being signed and deliver
ed and all fees paid by Johns, he and
Mrs. Worters left the Office followed
by Mr.. Worters and the two children,
Harry and Freddie. Following is a
copy of the agreement:
Know all men by these presents that
this article of agreement was made and
entered into mutually by and between
ourselves, with the full understanding
that it shall be separation as husband
and wife-the parties hereto are Wes-
ley Worters and Jessie Worters-until
this date living together legally as
husband and wife. We now mutually
agree to separate. And it is hereby
understood and agreed that said Wes-
ley Worters shall have and care for
our two children, Harry Worters and
Freddie Worters. The said Jessie
Worters hereby relinquishes all claims
to them, but is to be accorded the right
to visit them whenever | may desire,
but not TO interfere in any manner with
their care or education. The SAID
Jessie Worters is TO have in this sepa-
ration, the curtains, carpet, organ, pic
lures, sheets and pillow.cases, wringer,
dishes and clock, all of which is now a
part of the household goods. 1t is
mutually agreed that either one of US
may have the right to marry, If we so
desire, and there shall be no interfer-
ence on the part of either of us towards
the other in case of such an event.
In witness whereof, we have signed
this agreement this 9th day of July,

All other things being equal, the
human body is at its best when it is
free from alcohol. This being true
the fact that the Turkish troops, who
are total abstainers, stood the vicissi-
tudes OF war and recovered from their
wounds with remarkable rapidity was
to be expected. In peace or war, the
man is more man without alcohol
than With it. He is sounder in body
and mind, to say nothing about the
moral gain which comes to the alb
stainer.
