QUE ELECTRIC ENERGY,


The electric energy of the United
States is felt all over the world, even
in Spain, Extensive trolley systems
are to be put in at Madrid and BARGE
Iona. The total amount of the con-
tract is nearly $1,OOO,OO0, and the equip
ment of rolling stock will include 100
motors, The money engaged for the
enterprise is English, but the hackers
and engineers of the two roads are in
this country spending about 100000 for
motors, generators, etc. Even the cars
may be bought here, and the rails, too.
The engineers of the roads also, while
resident in England. are of American
training. American electrical appara-
tus is not only pouring into England
and the Continent in large quantities,
but is more and more finding it's way
into the colonies and tropical regions
generally. All through the West In
dies, South America, South Africa, Am
erican systems of lighting and traction
are now in operation, and the demand
comes briskly for variety of smaller
material. Complaint is made from the
River Plate that the English electrical
firms do not know enough or care
enough to pack their goods properly
Storage batteries are said to have been
sent out filled with acid. Testing in
struments, like galvanometers, arrived
without protection for the pivots or the
silk suspensions for the needles Whole
consignments of Leclanche primary
batteries opened up in condition fiji
only for the scrap heap, and a Roent-
gen ray set had not been packed
strongly enough to cross the street, anc
was, therefore, smashed in transit.
This country doesn't need to care who
makes the laws in other countries if il
can make and sell to those countries
their electrical equipments.

SPATN'S REPLY.
ance.

The draft of Spains reply to the
United States was considered at the
cabinet council in Madrid yesterday,
and was approved. Its full text has
mot been published, but it includes a
protest against flibustering expeditions
from the United States. If this protest
is much of protest it may make some
trouble. The sharp ones in Washing
ton say it will. Their idea is that the
suggestion that this government has
been insincere in the efforts to prevent
filibustering, and that the administra-
ton is conniving at violations of the
neutrality law, will be regarded as an
insult, not to be passed by without no.
tice. Such an imputation will be
promptly resented, and Spain will be
reminded Of the great forbearance of
the American government and people,
who have not only been Mortified by
the deeds of barbarity on the island of
Cuba, but have endured the insulting
insinuations and hostile demonstrations
Of the Spanish, the Imprisonment of
American citizens in Cuba, and the ut
ter disregard Of and even malicious in
jury to American interests, while Amer
lean naval reserves and vessels of the
revenue marine have at great expendi-
ture Of money and energy been per-
forming police duty at the behest of
the Spanish minister at Washington.
This statement Of facts will be coupled
with a very clear intimation that there
is an end to American liberation.
But perhaps Spain's reply will turn
out to be SO very polite that it cannot
fairly be resented. If 1t should the
'jingoes" and the bears would be
sadly disappointed.

Real lace is in so great demand that
all resources are taxed to the utmost,
and the result is that transferred work
is again being seen. Thereby mere
quarter of a yard of a valued lace is
made to spread over much larger sur
face of fine net. The pattern of good
lace property transferred on a fine net
makes a lace-work at once artistic and
beautiful. The net should, Of course,
be coffee stained to match the shade of
the lace itself. Darning work on fine
net is reappearing, and Jokes and
sleeves of such work are accounted
beautiful. A peep at some of the old
time "darned" sets of sleeves and yoke
will convince you that such work may
be made second in beauty only to lace.

Saginaw Defeated and Feels Badly

| The east side high school football team,
representing Saginaw, went to Owosso yes
terday and had lots Of fun with the team
there. In the first place the Saginaw boys
were a little discouraged when they lined
up on the field, for 10 the opposition team
were number OF ex college players and OK
perts, and the weight Of the Owosso team
was much superior tG that of the Saginaw
team Saginaw News.
How badly the editor of the News has
been misled in making such statement as
the above is apparent to everyone VINO
knows nything about the facts. The
whole thing is false. In the first place not
q single one of the OwOss0 eleven ever ut
tended college. 1t Is true that one OF the
boys played little with college team one
year as a substitute, but aside from him the
experts" picked up their entire knowledge
OF the game right here In Owosso. The
statement az to the weight of the 20 teams
is also way off The Saginaw team was
composed of players so much heavier than
it was not thought there was much show
for the home players This, however,
proved to be untrue, as the skill OF our
boys won the game for them by u score OF o
to 4, despite the st Elements of the Saginaw
papers to the contrary The Saginaw pa

: Arrested for Murder at Laingsburg.

The principal topic of conversation In our
village at this time is the supposed.polson-
ing OF Mrs. Margaret Hartman, living three
miles northeast Of the village, whose death
occurred Nov. Goth. As considerable has
been published in the papers in regard to
the case 1t will be unnecessary to go into
all the minute details here. John Hart
man and wife, Margaret, with their son,
John Hartman Jr., lived on the SO acre
farm in Sciota, and the past summer had
been assisted in their work by William and
Emma Roehm. The latter were man and
wife about IS years of age. We believe
that Roehm and the junior Hartman were
engaged In buying and butchering stock to-
gether. About two months ago the senior
Hartman died quito suddenly. and was
buried In Laingsburg cemetery. Mrs. Mar
garet Hartman was taken severely sick on
the 2sth and died on the Goth of November.
DR.. r. II. Scott, of this place, was called,
but upon reaching the sick woman decided
that she was past help and did not admins
ter any medicine. Theidoctor's suspicious
were aroused and after advising with citi-
zens, request for post norton was made
to Justice Rowley, who empanneled a jury
on the 30th, which was held at the Hart
mau farm, at 10 o'clock, and lasted until
evening, and then adjourned until Dec. 1st
The post norton was made 10y Dr's Scott
and Austin, In successful manner. A
number of witnesses were examined at
Justice Rowley's o:fice, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Chandler being present. About FIVE
o'clock the jury returned the following
verdict: We find that the deceased, Mrs.
Margaret Hartma,,. late OF the town of
Sciota, Shlawassec county, came to her
death through poison administered by the
hand OF some person or persons, and that
these jurors have suspicious from evidence
taken and heard by us, that such person or
persons are William Roehm and Emma
Roehm, bis wife. That said deceased came
to her death from such cause on the 29th
day of November, 1897, at 0 O'Clock a. m.
