EVIL RESULTS
From Halloween Tricks Which are
Not Funny and Which Police
Don't Stop.

Mrs. DR.. L. c. WATSON was severely
injured last night by being thrown on
a brick sidewalk by wire which some
one with more ingenuity than sense had
stretched across the walk.
Mrs. WATSON was on her way to visit
her daughter, Mrs. c. S. Bowman.
When near Clay street on Tenth she
tripped on the wire and in falling her
face struck the sidewalk cutting a pain
full cash on the lower lip. Two gentle
men who came up helped Mrs. WATSON
home. She is still suffering from the
effects of the fall but her condition is
not serious.

HOW TARIFF AFFECTS WOOL.
Higher Prices for the Farmers and Low
Cost of Clothing.

Wool Is yielding highly satisfactory
returns since the Dingley Tariff went into
effect. A Philadelphia wool dealer states
that the price Is now 10 cents a pound
higher than II was under the Wilson Tariff
law. In 1895 1t sold for 16 cents a pound.
When Mr. McKinley's election seemed
probable 1t went up to II cents and after
his election It was quoted at cents more
pound, while 1t now sells at 26 cents
pound. For the present year the domestic
clip of wool is estimated at 265, 900, 900
pounds, which means an increase of $26,
500, 900 In the receipts of farmers engaged In
sheep raising over what they got under
democratic tariff law. Not only do the
farmers get the benefit of increased pro IT'S
but 1t seems that the prices of wooden goods
remain exceptionally low. The woolen
clothing worn by the great mass of the
people was never cheaper, though some of
the better grades are little higher. The
working people are, therefore. enjoying
low prices for their clothing, while the
farmers are being we'll paid for their wool.
This satisfactory combination obtained
under republican protective tariff is an
interesting object lesson In the workings
of protection for home industries. The
importations of woolen manufactures have
not been so low in over fifty years as they
were during the last fiscal year. Ihe
wOOlen goods consumed In the United
States were manufactured at home to a
larger extent than ever before. The i'm
petus given to this home industry can be
estimated at Its proper value by the tre-
mendous decline in the impOrtations of
woOlen manufactures. In the fiscal years
of 1896 and 1897, In both of which years
the Wilson tariff was In effect, the importa.
tionf of woolen goods were as follows:
1896, $53, ,494, 1893; 1897. $40, 162, 992. In
1898, on the other hand, under the DiDgey
tariff law the importations of wooden manu-.
factures shrunk to $l4. 1913, ,76S. The foreign
goods were replaced by those of home
manufacture. This great increase In the
output of our wool industry should and will
undoubtedly lead to its further expansion,
so that our wooen goods are likely to
occupy prominent place In the worlds
markets before long'-Miwaukee Sentinel.

AN ADDITIONAL MAIL CARRIER.

Through Efforts of J. w. Fordney, owos-
SO at Last Secures Just Deserts-New
Substitutes. 49,
The news of the appointment of an addi-
tional mail carrier for this city reached
Owosso Saturday afternoon. This Is a
measure for which the post Office authori-
ties have been working for several years and
to which the revenues of the Office have long
entitled it. In the crowded work of the de-
partment however 1t seemed impossible to
secure the just deserts Of this city although
the department inspector had recommended
such action. -
As soon as Mr. Joseph w. Fordney, can
didate for congress on the republican ticket,
learned of the situation he determined to
take up the matter at once and to begin
making himself useful to his district even
while candidate. Perhaps 1t was unusual
to work for ones district before one is elect
ed, but such thought did not trouble Mr..
Fordney, who went at the matter with his
usual energy, presenting 1t to Senator Nc.
MILAN IN the strongest light possible. The
result was that only eight days after his ap-
peal to Senator Mcmillan he received the
following telegram from the latter:
WASHINGTON. ID. G., Oct. %, 1898.
Hon. j. w. Fordney, Saginaw, Mich.
Complying with your request. have this
day secured appointment of additional let
ter carrier at Owosso, to begin October 27
JAMES MCMILLAN.
This action on Mr.. FOrdney's part and the
interest which he took In the establishment
of one of the experimental free mail deliv-
cry routes In this county prove that he be-
lieves in making himself useful to his dis
trict at all times. 1t shows that he Is not
content to put off such actions with fair
promises, but that he is determined to use
any position In which he may be placed, to
the advantage OF the people of his district.
He has already done more Tor this county
during his few weeks candidacy than has
Brucker during his two years term. But
that is just the character bf the man. He
does not pretend to be an orator but he has
an eye open to the interest of his district
and pushes things through with quiet bus
mess like determination and tact which
counts far more than anything else in his
position.
The changes In the post Office are already
