A Michigan Horrible Examp1e.s
The Galien (Mich.) Advocate recently
printed an item which was a most
forceful object lesson In favor Of good
roads, instead Of the kind with which
Michigan people put up at present.
This Is the item: 'fMrs. Jimmie Payne
and Mrs. Brown started for Buchanan
yesterday afternoon and at the sink
hole by Redden's got stuck in the mud.
The horse mired and the water came
into the buggy box. The ladies yelled
for help, but no one heard them. AT
last Mrs. Payne took off her dress skirt
and waded out of the water, which
was waist deep. She went to Redden's
and got one of the boys to help. He
rode horse out to the buggy and took
Mrs. Brown out on horse back. Leroy
Redden then brought the ladies to
town. One of the Havens boys went
and got the buggy"

The doctor smiled and expressed his

however, than one of the deacons look

"You must not take any notice Of

The feelings of the doctor must have
been akin to those of another minister

Washington, February little 300
word cipher dispatch received from
Minister Woodford Saturday night
was translated at the state depart
ment today, but no intimation of its
import could be secured from official
sources. Assistant Secretary of
State Day, who has been entrusted
with the whole correspondence by the
president, refuses to discuss the mes
sage. He said merely that there was
no development in the case which
properly could be made public at this
time. In one instance he supplemted
this statement by the remark that the
mere fact of the information being
withheld was not to be taken as a
serious indication. Secretary Day
dined at the White House, Mrs. Day
still being out of town.
Every effort to supplement Scere-
tary Days statement with some in
formation from the White House fail
ed. TO urgent appeals for some
thing definite the president replied,
through Secretary Porter, that the
hands and that the president relied on
whole matter was in Secretary Days
him to handle the information for
the press.

however, that there was no truth in
the rumor of a censure upon Minister

Woodford's course, it was stated, had
been entirely satisfactory and any
criticism at this time was unfounded
a unfair. 1t could not be ascertain
ed positively whether or not an ans
wer to Minister Woodfords last dis
patch had been sent.
1t is almost certain, however, that a
reply has been drafted and that it
was put in cipher at the state depart
ment this evening.

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

A dictionary containing the definitions of
10 900 of the most useful and important
words in the English language, is published
by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. While it contains some
advertising, it is a complete dictionary,
concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been taken
to omit none of those common words whose
spelling or exact use occasions at times mo-
mentary difficulty, even to well educated
people. The main aim has been to give as
much useful information as possible in a
limited space. With this in view, where
noun, adjective and verb are all obviously
connected in meaning, usually one only has
been inserted. The volume will thus be
found to contain the meaning of very many
more words than 1t processes to explain.
To those who already have dictionary,
this book will commend itself because it is
compact, light and convenient; to those who
have no dictionary whatever, it will be in
valuable. One may be secured by writing
to the above concern, mentioning this paper,
and enclosing two-cent stamp.

edby large majorities. The fight
was between the Republicans and

out bad third. Returns receiv-
ed up to time of going to press

Gratis 2 and Populists 2. Suffi-
Gent returns are not yet in to
give any reliable information as to
how the house will stand, but it
is sufficiently certain that the Re

tire election was a mixture.
