"1es; Perez
 ''So much I've extracted from the sail ors,'' said Capt. Peck, ''but very little else, except that, when the rush was made to leave the steamer, our friends were almost left behind. Most of the crew and passengers got away in three other boats. The one we met was the last to pull away from the steamer That's inc limit of information to be had from the men,"
 II suppose that nothing has been seen of the other boats?"
 "Nothing. I'll do my best to find them. but it's not likely we'll come across them. The people we have on board lost trace of them the first night God pity the poor souls crowded into those three boats!"
 The captain was as good as his word. and, aided by light breeze which came as opportunely as if designed to assist in this errand of mercy, the Mary Peck cruised about in search of the fiotilla. Nothing was seen of it, however, and when, after lying becalmed for two days more, her sails were again filled by the wind, her bow turned to the south, and once more she was headed for her destination. Long afterw;rd it was learned that an English ship had rescued the occupants of the boats on the day following that on which tho steamer burned, and had carried them to London.
 As we drew into cooler attitudes
 
 may be imagined, his recovery was a tedious business. Yet, in view of his condition when he was hoisted to the deck of the Mary Peck, neither he nor I could find cause for complaint. For six weeks he was confined to his state room, and in that time came to know him well and to like him exceedingly. Of himself he said little, but, bit by bit. l learned something of his story. lis father was Brazilian, but his mother was English, and the greater part of his youth was spent at English schools. Since attaining manhood he had lived near Rio, making an occasional trip to Europe. The lady in his charge on the homeward voyage which had been in- terrupted so disastrously was a cousin. who, after some years in Portugal, was returning 70 her owr country. She was not very young, and her beauty was of the faded sort. In spite of the draw back that neither she nor Mrs. Peck was mistress of the others tongue, the two women managed to strike up a great friendship and to comfort one an- other vastly in the days of great gales and high seas we encountered off the cape. But the ship fought her way through the storms of that stormiesa | CT regions into the Pacific, and at last her anchor was dropped in Valparaiso bay after :: voyage which. south of the line. had been prolonged far beyond her masters expectations.
 There had been no opportunity to transfer Perez to a vessel bound for Rio, ard perforce he had been carried to the Chil;an port. On the day of our ar rival however. he and his companion bade us farewell and were sent aboard a steamer which, an hour later, bore them out of the bay. Our parting was that of friends who could hardly hope to meet again. Yet it was fated that meeting should come, and, that. too, at an early date.

Wheat reached its highest point in
years last week on the Chicago mar
ket, selling at s1.10 bushel. There is
a growing belief that this figure will
be surpassed by May wheat. Septem-
Der wheat touched s1.05, December
reached $l09 and January added an
other cent Friday of last week, with
two more days to beat this record.
Everything points to a great scarcity
abroad, and the suspicion is growing
that so much wheat has been exported
as to leave no surplus at home. Ex-
perts submit the following figures:
Wheat crop raised in United states last
year government estimate, $50, 100000
bushels; left over from previous crop,
80, 900 900 bushels; total available, $780,
900, 900 bushels; exported since July /,
145,000,000 bushels; consumption to
July 1, 1898 government estimate), 34O,-
0O0, 900 bushels; seed, 60,00O,000 bush
els; total, 545, 1000, 900 bushels; balance
left over, 100000 bushels. Not less
than 12,000,000 bushels of wheat are
now owned by Joseph Letter, who de-
clares that his wheat is worth not less
than $125 bushel.

Frankenmuth; Barbara Mossner, aged
25, of FranlSenmuth. The fourth oc-

as it was fairly on the tracks, cutting
it loose from the horse, leaving the
animal to run down the street nin-

kindling wood.
Stewart was on his way TO his store
from delivering goods, and the three
women had seated themselves in the
sleigh for a ride towards home, not
over so feet from the scene of the az
cident. Two boys stood near by AMI

several times but the driver did not

The new coal plant that the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad is erecting at
Sandusky, Ohio, will consist of an ele.
waited track to be used either with side
dump or drop-bottom cars, the coal
dropping into bins from which it will
flow into buckets of four tons capacity,
each placed upon movable platforms.
Derricks of capacity of ten tons each
will lift the buckets to the vessel.
There will be sixteen of these patent
drop bottom buckets and they will be
handled by two Of the latest steam re-
volving derricks, and these machines
will give the plant capacity of about
800 tons of coal per hour at minimum
cost for the work, and with slight
breakage. The plant will be in opera

The average per cent of sugar in beets,
with proper soil and seed is 1910.

According to the seventeenth annual
report of the United States geological
survey the area in which gilsonite is
found covers a considerable territory
in the Uncompaghre Indian reserva-
ton and extends fifteen miles over the
state lines into Colorado. There are
seven distinct veins, which vary from
one to eight feet in thickness, and it is
estimated that their total contents will
amount to 23,744,528 tons. The same
report quotes the price of this material
in Chicago at $40 to $50 per ton, gross
value, which would make the estimat-
ed contents OF the seven veins worth
over 100000, 900.

County supervisors Want Some Reforms.
Delegates from IS counties gathered
at Lansing in response TO "A call by the

vention TO consider the advisability of
taking concerted action toward secur-
ing the revision or repeal of certain
laws, the provisions of which are the
cause of needless expense TO taxpayers
large range of subjects was discussed
EXMayor Lawton Il. Hemans, of Ma
son, who has made a study of county
expenses, addressed the delegates, call
ing attention to the alarming manner
in which expenses have increased dur
ing recent years, this increase being
out of all proportion TO that of wealth
or population. He attributed it all to
the fee system and urged its abol-
ishment.
The Legislative committee was in
structed TO endeavor to secure the fol-
lowing reforms from the next legisla-
ture: Taxation of property of railroads
and other corporations the same as
other property: repeal of law for col
lection of farm statistics: that supervis-
ors pay expert witnesses i'm INDECENT in
sane cases in lieu of statuatory witness
fees; that mileage of officials be reduced
from 10 TO cents mile reduction of

In case of failure to induce the next

MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
Dolngs of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING,
Railroads to Sell Family Mileage
Books at 2 Cents per Mile - Triple
Railroad Fatality at Saginaw.
Pinrree Wins a Notable Victory.


Gov. Pingree has won the first round
of his fight with the Michigan Central
Railroad Co. on the question of $50
mileage books, good for the family of
the purchaser. In the governors suit
to compel the company TO sell such
books, Judge Donovan, Of the Wayne
circuit court, confirms the position
taken by Gov. Pingree and grants n
mandamus to compel the railroads to
comply with the mileage law of the
legislature.
In his decision Judge Donovan dis
cusses the case at length. In answer
to the plea of the railroad company
that the right to fix charges was given
to'the company by the charter, he in
dorses the contention of the complain
ant that the charter only gave the
right to fix rates by bylaws, and that
such bylaws must come under the POI
lice power, as with hacllmen, millers,
liquor dealers and others doing public
business.
BY the word of the highest court in
like cases in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Michigan, the conclusion is ire
sistable that only such charges can be
collected as are allowed by the laws of
the state
