s. II. Handy Nominated Repre-
sentative by Republicans at
Crystal Falls Thursday.
1T WAS A BITTER FIGHT.
The Result Proves Another
Decided Victory for the
Sheldon Faction.

AS the result of deadlock in the
Republican representative conven-
tion held in the city of Crystal Falls
on the 9th inst, the adjourned
meeting was held in that city
Thursday, and after bitter strug-
gle S. T. Handy, Of Iron county,
who was placed in the field as "a
dark horse, - received the nomina-
tion.
The regular candidates for the
Office were Hon. George D. Crippen
of Iron county, the present repre-
sentative, and James B. Knight and
Gordon Murray, of Dickinson coun-
ty. At the convention last week
only one of the FIVE delegates from
Bafaga county was present, and
after the convention was forced to
adjourn it was believed that a
Baraga county man would stand a
good show of securing the nomina
tion, and the name of Martin
Voetsch, of this city was entered on
the list. Thursday a full delegation
from this county was present, and
had Mr.. Voetsch's name been
presented a few days earlier, before
pledges had been made by the dele
gates representing the other two
counties, he certainly would have
been the nominee. AS it was he
virtually lacked but one vote of
securing the nomination.
Mr.. Handy is said to be very
capable man, and by his nomination
in preference to Moray, it proves
another victory for the Sheldon
faction and blow to Sam Stephen
son.

FOR THE PRIESTHOOD.
Rev. w. Warne Wilson is a Can.
didate.

The following is .of local interest,
as the gentleman in question is well
known to many in L 'Anse:
1t has always been the dream of
w. Warne Wilson's life to be a
clergyman IN charge of parish, but
although he started on that line
many years ago, circumstances have
prevented him from fully realizing
his ambition.
Sixteen years ago Mr.. Wilson, at
that time grand recorder of the A.
o. U. W., was admitted to the dia-
conate and attached to st. John S
Episcopal church, Detroit. A dea-
con comes pretty near being priest.
He can preach sermons, ol1iciate at
funerals, perform marriages and do
everything except adr mister com
munion. This keeps him from taxi
ing permanent charge of parish.
Mr.. Wilson was ut first assistant
rector of st. Johns church. Then
he took charge of st. Mathew s and
st. Andrew S churches and for some
time past he has been deacon, or
-
second assistant rector Of ST. John S
church, under Rev. DR.. Prall. A
short time ago he was admitted as a
candidate for priests orders. A
candidate must pass four literary
and theological examinations. This
takes about one year. Then he is
ordained to the priesthood, after
which he must wait and take his
chances on securing an appoint
ment. Mr.. Wilson resigned the Of
flee of grand recorder of the A. 0.
U. W. couple of years ago and or
ganized the Columbian League, of
which he is grand commander. AT
ter he is ordained priest and secures
an appointment he will leave secular
business and give his whole time to
religious work.

FRESH RULINGS.
A Revenue Stamp Once Licked is
Licked Forever.

A fresh ruling on the war stamps
provides that when one has been af-
fixed to document and cancelled it
cannot be legally removed and added
to another document. This means
that if one make out paper, place
the stamp on it, and then find that
some change must be made, he can
not soak off the stamp and put it on
the corrected paper, even though
the old one be destroyed. One must
20 to the collector, make the proper
affidavits and then wait, like Mi
cawber, for something to turn up,
which is quite likely TO come to pass
in time.
A special tax will not be collected
on course of lectures, the proceeds
of which go to educational purposes.
One nickle-in-the-slot machine set
up in public place does not make
it a place of amusement, but two or
more will. A social club that keeps
beer on tap free of charge to the
members, but which has little
bank handy in which the members
can drop an occasional dime to help
pay for the next keg, is liable for
the special tax as a retailer of
liquors.
Stamps must be placed on notes
when renewed, two cents for each
800. When, however, the note is
secured by some pledge of property,
the removal of the note does not
constitute renewal of the pledge,
but renewal of the mortgage does.
Merry-go-rounds are not ''places
of amusement, and are not subject
to the tax.

UPsETs OLD CUSTOM.
Tax Decision Which Affects Every
Township and County In
the State.

In the case of the city of Muske-
gon Tvs. the county of Muskegon,
which has been on trial in the Mus
kegon circuit court, Judge Russell
has taken the case away from the
jury and directed q verdict for the
plaintiff with a judgment of $l3,-
O96. AZ and costs. The decision is an
unusually important one, affecting
as it does every city and county in
the state. The city sought to re-
cover the personal state and county
taxes paid by the city treasurer to
the county treasurer from 1883 to
1894, inclusive.
The city claimed the city treasurer
was under no obligations to pay the
county treasurer the uncollected
state and county taxes on personal
property and that when he did so he
exceeded his authority and did an
illegal act. The county claimed the
city was obliged to pay the county
the entire tax levy on personal
property whether these taxes had
been collected or not.
From 1888 to 1890 the payment
was made by the city without pro-
test. In 1898 the city treasurer, re-
fused to pay the amount for 1891
and it was retained out of money
held by the county and due the, city.
This was the case also in 1892, 1893
and 1894. The 1895, 1896 and 1897
taxes have not as yet been paid and
the county endeavored to recover
these in the present action.
In rendering his decision Judge
Russell said he was not satisfied
with the case or morally certain as
to its merits. There ought to be
some legislation in this NATTER" he
said, 'and maybe there will be when
this case is disposed of. "
Judge Russell's decision affects
townships likewise, and upsets a
custom as old as the state.
The case will be Immediately taken
to the supreme court.
