His body was brought to Mason, the
county seat, for burial, and it's coming
revealed a sensational state of affairs.
Two days ago Darling's wife and three
children arrived at Mason from Ann
Arbor to attend the funeral, but when
a friend of the family went to Jackson
to meet the body he found there wom-
an who claimed to be Darling's wife.
She had come from Reading, accom-
panied by two children, and was en-
route to Mason.
She declared she was married to Darl-
ing several years ago. after he had
shown her what was alleged to be a de-
cree of divorce from his first wife. The
document was properly signed and
sealed, and bore every evidence of be-
ing genuine. Darling for several years
was employed as dupty clerk of this
county, and it is believed that while
acting in that capacity and having ac-
cess to the seal, ETC., he forged the
decree. Upon learning of the situation
the woman returned home with her
children. The first Mrs. Darling, who
is the daughter of a prominent farmer,
had no knowledge Of the true state Of

LUMBER PILES DESTROYED.
Saginaw Lumber and Salt Company Loses
100000.

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. Flight million
feet of lumber were burned on the
docks of the Saginaw Lumber and Salt
company at Crow island, eight miles
Below the city, early in the morning,
causing a loss of about $4,000. The
docks held about 100000 feet and a
large quantity Of lumber was piled in
the mill yard which the flames did not
reach. The mill and salt block were
saved with difficulty. The docks and
one drill house were destroyed. Az
nearly as can be estimated three
fourths of the loss will be covered by
insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is thought that skaters dropped
matches or started a fire to warm them
selves in a slip. The fire was burning
fiercely before an organized attempt to
stop it could be made. The Saginaw
engine began throwing water about 2
o'clock. Two engines from Bay City
arrived at 2:45. These, with the Car
rollton steamer constituted the only
available fighting force.

BRIBERY TALK ALL AROUND.
A Sensation That Was Advertised, but Did
Not Come OF.

Sensation That Was Advertised, but Did
Not Come on
Columbus, O., Jan. Eff Ohio does
not accupy bad eminence in the mat
ter of political bribery 1t will not be
the fault of those who are charging
bribery on both sides. Monday night a
charge was made that Otis had been
offered $4,000 to vote for Hanna and
that he would rise in his place in the
senate yesterday and make the charge,
walking up to the presidents desk, with
the $4,000 roll and depositing the cash
with the president. The only develop
ment in the matter was in the house
motion to first investigate this bribery
charge, and then elect a senator.
The next accuser is Mason, a Repub-
lican bolter, who was elected speaker
of the house by the combine. He
comes out with a statement to the eff
feet that two years ago when the fifty
year franchise bill was before the legis-
lature I was approached by a man from
Cleveland who was lobbying in the in
terest of that bill He offered me a
bride of $1,000 If I would vote for that
measure" and Mason believed he
THanna1 knew" all about IL.
The Democratic steering committee
of the fusionists last night issued the
following brief manifesto: ITO the pub
lie: Marcus A. Hanna will not be
elected by this legislature"
Governor Bushnell last night said:
II simply desire to repeat the state
ment which I made day or two since
that the result Of the contest rests with
the members of the legislature. Who
ever they may elect will receive my
cordial support"

up their efforts to GUST him. Sunday
the rector surprised the congregation
by announcing that the vestry had sug-
gested that his resignation was de-

protested against the treatment ac-
corded him, declaring that by intrigue
and malicious deception the few rich

of other Pensioners He asked the
congregation to declare itself on the
subject Many attended a meeting at
the close of the service, and the unani-
nous sentiment was in favor of pro-
testing against the acceptance of the
resignation.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-,
writes: s'For six years have been
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. e,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. Alter SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moyal of the gland. AT this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preJu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan it's use. Before had used one bot
lie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF ell who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently. ,,>

SECRET SOCIETIES DENOUNCED.
Preacher at Calumet, Mich, "Beards the
Lion i'm His Dem"

Lion in HIS Dem"
Calumet, Mich. Jan. 12.-Rev. s. T..
Morris, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church, has denounced secret So
cieties in unmistakable words. The
sermon was delivered to large congre-
cation and has caused considerable
feeling among those who differ with
the gentleman on the subject. When
1t is taken into consideration that there
are no less than forty secret societies
In town of this size, and that nearly
every man in the city belongs to one
or more of them, to say nothing of the
women who belong in large numbers
to various orders, the matter has more
than ordinary meaning.
The preacher said that the denun-
citation was prompted by the fact that
lady member of the congregation had
come to him and asked him to change
the night of church prayer meeting so
that she could attend. as under the
present arrangement the lodge merv-
ing came on the same evening that
the prayer meeting was held and there
fore she could not attend the latter.

Merriman railroad tax law, has written

suited concerning all phases Of its prog
ress from the day of it's introduction
until it was passed as a compromise for
all other railroad bills. He also says
that it will increase the taxes but $115,-
900 annually. It's friends claim $500. 900.

Half Breeds Are Responsible For.
South McAllister i. T., Jan. II. "A
telegram received here at GAO o'clock
last evening by the train dispatcher OF
the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf rail-
road, states that a band of $50 Seminole
Indians are on the war path and are
leaving behind a trail of blood. A tele-
gram was sent by the railroad station
agent at Earlboro. The brief story
conveyed was that the Seminoles were
avenging the work of the mob OF white
men that burned two Seminole Indians
at the stake on Friday last and that
the infuriated Seminoles had already
massacred twenty-five pS,, women ana
children. The station O,ent gave the
additional information that the band
started from a point six miles south or
Earlboro with the avowed intention or
setting fire to Tecumseh and killing
all whom they met, that the Indians
were reported to have changed their
course and were at the time of the
sending of the message headed toward
Earlboro.
The receipt Of this startling informa-
ton has created intense excitement in
South McAllister. Federal Judges
Springer, Townsend and Springer, who
are in the city, are anxiously awaiting
further news. Scores of people here
who have relatives and friends at Earl
boro and other points in that section
are beseiging the telegraph office for
news, but the agent has either left the
Earlboro station to gather further in
formation, or perhaps is slain or driven
to seek refuge.
st. Louis, Jan. ia special to The
Republic from Wewaka, I. T., quotes
United States Marshal Bennett as stat
ing that while the Seminoles are great
ly excited and the situation very threat
ening, no massacres have yet occurred.

LExoW BUSINESS is PRETTY WARM.
Looks Like the Chicago Civil Service Com
mission Will Defy the Solons.


Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE investigation
Of the state senate committee into Chi
cago's police government has ended so
far as the presence of the civil service
commission or it's record is concerned.
In the developments Of yesterday twen-
ty men were found who had been dis
charged half dozen times for various
violations of the police regulations, and
disclosures were made which surprised
the commissioners. They acted upon
this at once, and acted upon treatment
they had received from the committee
by declaring that in their belief 1T was
illegal, unfair and useless. They will
accordingly refuse to take any further
notice of it,
The attorneys-Presfdent Kraus for
the civil service commission, and e. r.
Bliss for the ex-policemen and commit
tee-were at swords points throughout
the session. and Oh one occasion At
torney Bliss invited Kraus to "step out
side and settle it. and I'll show you"
President Kraus declared that Bliss
was "a villain" and refused to permit
him to handle any documents belonging
to the commission for the reason that
'we cannot trust him with anything"
1t depends on the legality of the legisla-
tive committee whether the commission
will ignore" 1t, and that point Is the
one upon which the commission bases
its refusal to appear any further

Of king" Strang, the head of the Nor
mon movement in the north, is again
the subject of contention. Strang's
colony of Mormons, which controlled
Beaver island for many years and over
which he ruled with a not entirely
bloodless administration, became so
dangerous in the early sos that the
state and local authorities dared not
attempt TO enforce the laws.
A raid from the main land in 1856 de-
stroyed the colony and drove off the
Mormons. Now a systematic organiza-
ton has been effected with the inten-
ton of gaining sufficient Mormon
strength in Michigan to reclaim the
island, to which they assert they have
never given the state legal possession
