Mr.. - prominent banker OF
this city, ran up against a problem a
week or two ago which he found harder
to solve than any he has had expert
ence with since his early school days.
He went home on the evening mentioned,
and as usual prepared to care for the
stock about the barn, when, to his sur
prise, his COW was missing. He began
making investigations, and after time
went up stairs in the barn, where he
found the bovine lying in the loft peace
fully chewing her cud and not desiring to
be molested in the least. After recover
ing from his surprise the serious side Of
the aspect presented itself, and he began
to figure ways and means to get the COW
back to the lower floor, the steps to the
loft, which the cow had evidently climb
ed. being very steep. He held con-
sultstion with his neighbors. who OF
course suggested all imaginable schemes.
Some said lead her down backward; 9TH
ers said slide her down; while some sug-
gested block and tackle. However, a
conclusion was soon arrived at, and with
a strap or two around the body of the
animal, she was led down the flight OF
stairs without mishsp, and none the
worse for wear.

Death of David Leach,

David Leach, aged about 10 years, one
of the pioneers of Gratiot county, died
Monday of creeping paralysis at the
home of Richard Anderson four miles
southwest of town. Funeral services
| were held at Mr.. Anderson's residence
Wednesday forenoon, Rev. Mr.. Clough
officiating The remains were brought
to Riverside cemetery for interment.
David Leach was born in St. Lawrence
county, n. Y, and went to Oswego to
learn the shoemaker's trade when very
young man. Later he kept shoe store
in Fowler, n. Y, and for while before
coming to Michigan kept general stock
of goods. About thirty years ago he
| came to this county and bought piece
of land near the place where his death
occurred. He worked at his trade i'll con-
| nection with farm work, afterwards NOV
ing into. Alma, he resided near the engine
house and continued to work at his trade
in the little shoe shop in connection, till
a year or more ago, when he went to
was twice elected treasurer of Pine
River township and once of Arcadia.
While living in New York state he
was married to Mrs. Carpenter who
preceded him to the other land one year
ago last June. No children were born
to them and no blood relative could be
present at the funeral, though two
brothers and two sisters of his fathers
family are still living in their native
state.
Owing to our inability to obtain much
positive information, we give the above
as approximately correct. Mr.. Leach is
said to have kept a sore of autobiography,
but we could not obtain a copy of it be-
fore going to press.

The New York Journal, hitherto his

ready to cast aside w j. Bryan and the
cause of free silver at divine ratio of Ii

writer, Arthur McEwen, the apostle of
free silver, in last Wednesdays issue is
roasted to the queens taste. The New
York Journal was the only eastern paper
of Importance to supportBryan during his
late campaign, and this indicates that
it is to abandon him as candidate for the
presidency in 1900. The New York
Journal political editorial opens with
this paragraph: "As Bryan Democrat
i have to confess that grow weary of
Mr. Bryan, and this is important, be-
cause | find myself in a constantly in
creasing company. With these other
eastern Democrats / am coming to be-
lieve that it is not large enough TO be the
leader of the cause which is known by
his name. OF his energy and his bril-
liancy as political speaker as high an
opinion must be held as when he made
that marvellous tour of the union, arous-
ing the people everywhere with his earn
est and dashing eloquence. But he no
longer impresses as great man. nor one
of the highest sincerity"

ANOTHER BOOM FOR ALMA.
Jas. A. stuttz Speaks a Good Word

Jas. Stuttz last week sold three lots
which he had still owned in the Stuttz
addition. They are lots nine and ten in
block seven, and lot six in block one,
both situated not far from the college.
The purchasers expect TO build them
homes in the spring. Mr. Stuttz is ne.
gotiating with other parties for sale of
lots and one man from outside of town
may buy the whole grove south of the
college and erect a fine residence. This
is good move as it will probably lead
to the building of several new dwellings
Mr.. Stuttz says he always liked Alma
the best of any small town he was ever
in as it is more lively and city like than
any other town of its size in the country
He recalled a scene on our streets several
years ago when eighty-fve loads of wood
were brought TO Alma in on day and
placed in the company's storehouse by
his partner, Mr.. Schneider.

Fact.

Two farmers were once discussing
their local paper. One thought it had
too many advertisements in it. The
other replied: "In my opinion the adj
vertisements are far from being the least
valuable part of it l look them over
carefully and save at least FIVE times the
cost of the paper each week through the
business advantages | get from them. "
Said the other Il believe you are
right know that they pay me well and
rather think it is not good taste to find
fault with the advertisements after all -
1t pays any man with family TO take
a good local paper for the sake of the
advertisements if nothing more. And
if business men fail TO give farmers a
chance to read advertisements in the
local paper, they are blind to their own
interests to say the least of it.
"You never trade with me-" said a
business man TO a prosperous farmer

place of business and never go where

Disease Germs Harmless.

From the authority of a leading ply
stefan of Los Angeles, Cal, DR.. Thomas
Powell, comes the news of experiments
which seem TO shatrer the time honored
theories regarding the transmission of
contagious diseases from one person to
another. He says;
II claim that disease germs are utterly
incapable of successfully assailing the tbs.
sues of the living body; that they are not
in the least inimical to the life or health
of the body; that, on the contrary, it is
their peculiar function to rescue the
living organism, whether of man or
beast, from impending injury or des-
truction. They accomplish this by
bringing about the decomposition of that
obstructive matter which constitutes
predisposition to the disease and cause
IL to be passed out by the blood.
For ten years | have worked on this
theory. l determined III the first place
to experiment by inoculating, not an
animal whose hold on life is exceedingly
feeble, as that of the rabbit or guinea
pig, but the human body. | inoculated
myself with the most virulent typhoid
bacilli obtainable, having first eradicated
from my system any predisposing cause
for the disease. The result was entirely
satisfactory, no evil ensuing beyond the
usual soreness, as III vaccination. Then
/ took into my system the typhoid bacilli,
and no typhoid fever making its appear
ance, l repeated the experiment with
diphtheria germs, without the least per-
ceptible effect In order TO make the
experiments still more complete, | Guilt
waited the germs of diphtheria and
CHAMBERS until there could be no doubt
as to their virility and took them into
my system in the presence of two physi-
clans. The outcome was the same as
before.
"Then in the presence of twenty-five
physicians l took, first, the bacilli of
typhoid into the stomach, inclosed in
gelatine capsules, and second, the bacilli
of diphtheria by both the vaccination
method and subcutaneous incubation.
Examinations of the pulse were after
wards made by the physicians referred
to the temperature, and of the respira-
ton, and it was unanimously declared
that these NEGOTIATIONS produced no
greater effect upon me than might have
been expected from like quantity of
water.
In order to prove that these expert
ments were not successful in my case
only that had not in some way been
made contagion proof by nature, |
singled out from among my patients TWO
who appeared to be fit subjects for SINH
lar experimentation and, with their con-
sent, put them through the same course
as had undergone. No evil resulted in
their case any more than in mine"
Physicians are dumbfounded by these
standing proofs of DR.. Powell, but are
not yet, as a rule, ready TO admit that
his theories can be applied generally.

The treasury authorities, the author of
the Dingley bill and the leaders of the
Republican party in general have been
saying that there would be a deficit in
January, as the treasury disbursements
this month are always heavy. There is
a possibility now that they may be mis-
taken in their estimate. Revenues have
been. surprisingly high i'll the present
month thus far From the first month
in which the new tariff went into opera
ton the revenues have been constantly
growing. The growth in the past two
or three weeks has been much greater
than anybody looked for. There.was a
surplus in the treasury receipts in De-
cember, and there is likely to be one in
January. In any case the deficits days
are numbered.
