The Paris Mercury has this to say
OF public roads in Monroe County:
'Monroe county spent over $4,000
on the roads last year. Yet the first
real wet spell of the year has totally
ruined them and to day public travel
in Monroe county is next to an i'm.
possibility. This $4,000 would build
six miles of gravel road year. Why
not try it, Better 6 miles of lasting

Pennington loaded shotgun yester-
day and started out to kill number
of people who had incurred his en-
nifty. He first hunted for A. P.
Walter, agains. whom he had a
grudge, but Walte.' saw him coming
and hid. Then Pennington went to
the house of Hiram johnson and
fred at Mrs. Johnson, seriously
wounding her in the shoulder and
back, He next emptied both barrels
into Luther Traver, an aged man,
killing him instantly. Then he point
ed the gun at Mrs Frank Stolt. a
neighbor, who came to the door on
hearing the noise. She ran into the
doorway, closing the storm.door
behind her, but he fired through the
door, wounding her in the abdomen.
Pennington retreated across some
vacant lots, loading his gun as he
called to an officer, and dared him to
shoot. He exclaimed: "Well, if you
haven't got the nerve to shoot, 1
have" Then he placed the muzz'e
Of the gun to his forehead and blew
the top of his head off, scattering
brains and pieces of skull fifty feet.
Pennington was undoubtedly insane.
It is thought that Mrs. Stolt can not
recover, but Mrs. Joknson's injuries
while severe, are not fatal.

his claim by telling Eli that upon

fuss abou; these slices that had

what is now known as the Upper
Peninsula was granted TO him.
This made State that was sepa,
rated by great body Of water But
notwithstanding this obstacle. Mich
igan has always ruled both the
upper aud lower penlnsulas.
Another reason FOR making a
new State ont of the peninsula is,
that Michigan Is State OF great
climatic difference. The climate oF
the southern portion is warm, but
that of tho northern is rigorous.
Take Detroit, which has mean
annual temperature OF as degrees.
and that OF Sault Ste. Marie, which
is 40 degrees. This is difference
OF 8 degrees between the different
parts of the State. Along the
northern part thero is a great deal
OF apple raising, but in the penn.
sula there are vineyards, and, of
course, the same agricultural laws
cannot apply to both of these.
1t is said that all the preliminary
work Of making this State has been
gone through with, and will be set.
tied when Congress reasso bles.
The Congressman Of Wisconsin and
Michigan are both said to be in
favor of it, and such lobbying as
must be done in Washington has
already been attended to.
The lower Michigan people are
said to be in favor of losing their
upper peninsula because they feel
that it is no part of them, while
the Upper Peninsula certainly feels
that 1T should be Independent.
The new State is SAID to be ono
OF the richest sections Of the
country outside of Alaska. 1t has
every mineral that is known, even
gold has been discovered there.
Its climate is healthful, its rainfall
moderate and everything about It Is
beautiful.

To be great ladies men the author, no

There is danger in battle, day or night,
More danger in Love, no bayonet in
sight;
Danger in battle on land or on sea;
More danger in Eove, though calm II
may be.
Man dared woman. woman lured man;
The love of the soul has power in its
hand.
Danger of death as we walk through
the streets,
More danger in love, although it be
sweet.
To love without passion, we'd exist
without sin;
With love for the women our hearts
beat within.
No danger in war with the heroic OF
life.
But the danger of love, it cuts like a
knife.
Pineaway soul, heart, mind and hand;
Death, sweet death, at our Makers
command,
But let not the papgs of unfrequent
love
Steal away The soUl from the heavens

Danger that beams, from the star in

That lightens the forests, with it's
twinkling light
And the moon as it tells on the maker
of love
Danger in that! though cautious they
move
An hour of sweet rapture, an age OF
despair
And they are the trophies of loves war

All then forever. while time shall last,
On the altar of passion must hearts be
cast.
Impressions of love are made in a

The whole world moves with love in

The dangers love leads by the hand;
Slaves OF the fair sex they obey our

Though brave as lion, the beast ol

For love, sweet love, the soul will
