 The people of Ohio sending republican representatives to the general assembly have instructed them to vote for Senator Hanna, not only in the state convention, but in district and county conventions by common understanding and in every form such instructions are ever given. A vote against, or to induce violation of such

 '.It is not alone for Senator Hanna, nor for or against any other individual that we make this appeal to the republican members of the general assembly. St Is not question of persons. It is not even a question of parties. It rises high above both and involves the conservation of our republican system of government.

asleep in his own home on May 13, at five
O'clock in the morning. The shooting
was done with Mr.. Collins own gun.

ing his bedroom.
John H. Collins. son of the murdered
man. was attending the Kansas univer-

Michigan by Mr. Stearna.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Nov. 2s.-Mr. Fred
erick Stearns. Detroit millionaire. has
presented to the University of Michi-
gan his unique collection of musical
instruments, numbering nearly 1000
pieces. Mr.. Stearns has been collecting

hibits, with hardly break, the evo-
luton of the three great types of mu-
sical instruments from prehistoric
times down to the present. In this re-
spect it can rival the most famous col
lections Of this country and of Europe.
The collection will be placed in room

ing, and complete catalogue. lavishly
illustrated, prepared by Mr.. stearns.

The supreme court prior to its ad
journment handed down two decisions
in personal damage cases against the
Great Northern road which are of gen.
eral interest. One OF them was in the
case of Haug VS.. the Great Northern
road, comipg up from Traill county.
Haug was passenger on the Great
Northern road between two small sta
tions in Traill county and was carried
by his destination. He was, put off the
train at small station, and entered
the depot, as the night was bitterly cold.
but was put out by the station agent
when it came time to lock up the depot.
Thus houseless Haug wandered about
ior time and froze to death. His
widow brought suit against the road,
and the case was thrown out of the dis
trict court on the ground that the facts
stated did not constitute sufficient
cause of action The supreme court re.
verses the holding of the district court
and sends the case back for trial to a
jury, holding that it is for the jury to
determine whether the widow should
be awarded damages.
