Victory for Farmer Members.
The farmer members Of the legislature
have apparently won a decisive victory
In connection with the bill to repeal
the law taxing real estate mortgages.
Early in the session a powerful lobby of
Detroit real, estate men showed up and
succeeded in getting the bill through the
senate and there was every prospect that
the house would follow suit. Just then
remonstrances began to perceived from
farmers clubs throughout the state.
These poured in so fast and numerously
that the legislative farmers club held a
meeting and marked the bill for slaugh-
ter. 1t has since been on the table. A
few days ago Representative Stoneman
made last rally in its behalf but he
was unable to pump any life into it, and
the decisive adverse vote on that occa-
sion indicates that it will be heard from
no more this year
The farmers, however, lost a point in
connection with the game bill. Those
in the house having in view the trespass
and damage committed by hunters who
in this law a provision prohibiting the
hunting of quail with dogs This would
have quite effectually disposed of any
quail hunting whatever, but the senate
struck out this provision and in order to
save the other provisions the farmers Of
the house were forced to consent to the
change.
lat present all corporations organizing
In Michigan are required to pay to the
secretary of state franchise fee of one
quarter OF l per cent. on each dollar Of
their authorized capital stock, no fee to
be less than S. The revenue from this
source amounts to a number Of thou
sands Of dollars annually. 1t is proposed
however, to materially increase it, and
to this end the house committee on pri-
Vate corporations has recommended a
bill, which will doubtless pass, increas-
ing the fee to IL cents on each dollar of
authorized capital, no fee to be less than
$40.

Shawano, Wis, May 19.-Word was

his wife and left their three children.
aged Z, and 4 years, locked in the
house to keep them safe from mischief
Returning later in the afternoon they
found their home a mass Of ruins and
their children burned to death. The
bodies were almost destroyed and were
only identified by the sizes.
II is supposed the house caught fire
from the burning brush in that vicinity.
There have been frequent forest fires
lately which have spread very rapidly.
The Wicks farm is almost completely
isolated and the entire place was COM
rletely destroyed before help could be
given. The parents are crazed with
grief and are being cared for by neigh

The Ideal Washing Machine.

Capitalists were led to extend manufact-
nring business in Portland, Mich in this
way Samples of all the washing machir es
in the United States were procured and
thoroughly testeted with "Terriif's Perfect
Washer" This machine was found super
ior to any other, as it washed the clothes
cleaner, quicker and with less work The
factory has been running full time
during the general depression. These facts
speak for themselves. The machine is sold
only through agents, and 5000 are kept in
stock to insure prompt shipments The
prosperity of this concern is another example
Of the success Of high merit.

Appalling Destitution.

Manchester, England, May 19.-The
Guardian publishes a dispatch from its
special correspondent with the Greeks
which says: The restitution of the
Greeks in Epirus is appalling. Every
thing they had in the world has been
burned or pillaged. The scenes in their
fight were dreadful. Young girls flung
themselves from the rocks to escape
outrage, and a youth shot his two sis
tiers to save them from outrage. A
BOY who was captured by the Turks

Kansas Cities.
Topeka, Kas., May 18.-Anent the

ton of the open saloon in Kansas a
prominent state official, speaking Of
the attitude of the administration, said:
"The policy Of Gov. Leedy and At
torney-General Boyle will be to let the
larger cities have all the liquor they
want. This is particularly true Of
Leavenworth, Wichita, Atchison and
Kansas City, Kas. The sentiment in
those cities is overwhelmingly in ia
vor Of the sale of liquor and the collec-
ton of a license. That has been the
program in those cities. In the small

The Michigan Manual

The Michigan Manual, that much
sought afeer publication, which mas usu-
ally been ready for distribution along In
April, will not be completed until August
this year. This delay Is due to no fault
of the state printer and binder, however.
1t is simply a monument to the penchant
of the two houses for disagreeing. For
several sessions the state printer has
been in the habit of getting out an issue
of the Manual as soon after the legis-
ture convened as possible, and then aft
err the April election, the legislators
would discover that the. statistics of that
contest and other valuable information
not available earlier in the year should
be set forth in the volume, and so they
would order a second edition printed In
order to save this extra expense the leg
islature directed the state printer not to
proceed with the printing this year until
ii was definitely decided how many
copies were to be pEnted, and also di-
recting the publication held until after
the April election so that there need be
sbut one edition. This order was notmade.
however, until after 400 pages had been
printed, most of which had to be printed
over again. Then the two houses
