On complaint of Frank Robinson,
William Boyd of Lawton was arrested
and brought before Justice Rowland
charged with having overdriven span
of Robinson's horses SO that one died.
Boyd pleaded not guilty, but the parties
subsequently settled their differences.
Robinson acknowledged satisfaction, all
costs were paid and, on motion of the
prosecuting attorney, the suit was dis
missed and Boyd discharged.
The editor of the Northerner attended
meeting of the Michigan Republican
Newspaper association at Alma last
week. The business sessions were profit
able. Alma is handsome village, and
the citizens know how to make it pleas
ant for their guests Alma college was
visited, and also Alma sanitarium-a
fine banquet being given the newspaper
men and their wives at the latter, Fri
day evening. We believe no better place
can be found for the treatment of tired,
worn out humanity.

Farmers Break the Ruggy Monopoly.

Itis claimed that for years buggy manufacturers
have secured exorbtant prices for their goods, but
recently through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other states, SEARS
RoEBUcK & Co. of Chicago have got the price OF
Open Buggies down TO 5000; Top Buggies, s22 IS;
Top Surries, s43.zS and upwards, and they are
shipping them in immense numbers direct to the
farmers in every state. They send an immense
Buggy Catalogue free, postpaid to any one who
asks for H. This certainly is big victory for the
farmers, but a severe blow to the carriage manu-
facturers and dealers. t6otI3o77

The annual school meeting last Mon
day evening was not largely attended.
This fact, however, was not due to lack
of interest on the part of our citizens,
but rather to the fact that all are salts
fled with the excellent manner in which
our schools are being conducted, and to
the absence of anything in the way of
contest over the election of members of
the board of education.

commend the voting of money for library
purposes, keeping up the good work
that has been so well begun towards

purpose.

IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POINT.
The Capture of Cardenas Would
Seriously CriDpIe Havana

Maj Gen. Fitzhugh Lee who is spoken
of as the most likely man for the post of
military governor of Cuba until the re-
public is established firmly, said yester
day that Cardenas, which was attacked
yesterday by four American gunboats.
was an important point, strategetically.
to be possessed by the United States
forces.
About twenty miles back in the coun-
try, at Jovellenes, ] think it is. all the
railroads of Cuba form a juncture, and.
with Cardenas in the hands of the Ameri-
cans. the investment of Havana would be
materially advanced by the possession of
that place" said Gen. Lee. mo supplies
could reach Havana by the regular chan
nels from the interior, and. with the
blockading fleet in front of the city, its
fate would soon be determined finally. In
my opinion. the attack upon Cardenas
was for the purpose of getting at Jovel-
lenses.
Gen. Lee was told that the official dis
patches gave the number of killed as
five and of wounded as three. Referring
10 Ensign BaGley. Gen. Lee said:
He was a gallant lad, and / am sorry
he is gone. He was worthy fellow and
brave as a lion. I'll bet he made a good
fight. But we must not take our losses
too much to heart. War means blood
shed upon both sides. and we are bound
to lose many brave lads before We drag
down the yellow ensign of Spain from
the ramparts of Morro.''

STOCK MARKET DECLINES
Foreign Houses Again Heavy Sell
ers in This Market.
Trading Active i'm the bond Market
Where the Tone Was
Very Firm.

New York, May PA moderate re-
action in the stock market this morning
was not remarkable in view of the rapid
advance of the week. Foreign houses
were again heavy sellers of stocks in this
market and the local realizing of profits
continue The day was rather bare of
news of sufficient Importance to affect the
market. The reported reverses TO our
forces at the engagement at Cardenas
was the superficial explanation for the
halt in the markets advance and the
first losses Jwe have incurred thus far in
the war may have induced some selling,
but aside from this the purely technical
conditions of the market accounted weli
enough for its tendency.
The April report of the Treasury's bu-
reau of statistics showed that while Eu-
rope has been returning our securities
she has been and is a heavy purchaser
of our grain and provisions.
Other interesting contributions on the
statistical situation were furnished in
the statements of traffic returns made
by a number of companies. The money
market was easy and ample supply being
offered on call at 2 per cent.
The trading was fairly animated in the
morning, but the market became duh in
the course of the day The granger

Pacific preferred and Sugar refining wers

were made in Consolidated Gas and Union
Pacific, Denver and Gulf securities.

The absence of a quorum was very ap-
parent when the House convened at noon.
1t was generally understood that there
would be some war legislation to which
ordinary routine should yield all priyi-
leges of precedence, and as result sew
eral measures of comparatively little in
terest We're denied time for consideration.
An effort TO call up the bill authorizing
the appointment of a commission to col
late information and recommend legis-
lation TO meet the problems presented by
labor, capital and agriculture was defeat
ed by objection.
The Senate bill 10 provide for the enlist
ment of Cubans in the American army
and for the relief of destitute women and
children on the island was called up.
The House speedily agreed to persist in
its disagreement with the first conference,
and accordingly the bill was sent back
for a second conference. Representatives

The engagement off Cardenas yesterday
had very chilling effect on the stock
market as was to be expected. 1t was
the first time in the entire war that
Spain had won anything whatever, and it
became evident that the United States
could not win all the battles, and kill
all the Spaniards and lose nothing itself
Very surely some loss was TO be expected
on this side but also very surely the street
had got into the habit of considering
the war won without the loss of man.
There is absolutely no reason to feel bad
over the battle yesterday except for the
loss of life itself There was the loss of
one of the Spanish ships and the silencing
of the Spanish batteries beside the death
of some Spanish men, undoubtedly,
against the loss of the United States.
The victory is with the United States
The stock market was not in mood to
see this, however. 1t was ready to drop
on anything or nothing. There was a
large amount of profit waiting to be taken
by the people that got into the market
some time ago when stocks were several
points lever than they are at present.

Adopted the Resolution.

After nearly three hours of debate the
joint resolution was adopted by practi-
cally a unanimous vote.
Section of the resolution promises that
the chief of the auxiliary force may,
with the consent of any State, muster
into the service the whole or any part of
the naval militia of the State and report
appointment of officers to the Secretary
of the Navy.
Representative BouteIle asked unani-
nous consent of the House for an immedi-
ate consideration of another bill TO per
manently reorganize the Hospital Corps
of the Navy. Mr. Boutelle represented
that the present organization of the corps
is wholly inadequate TO meet modern de-
mands having been unchanged since 1897.
The proposed changes would increase the
expense of maintaining the corps about
81. 760.
Representative McMllin precipitated a
personal argument with Mr.. Boutelle over
what he chose to term the vagueness of
| the bill as concerns the number of addi-
tional assistants provided for. and finally
made formal objections to the present con-
sideration of the measure after having
previously declared that he would not OBJ
| ject.
Representative Mercer was trying to get
bill before the House to amend the
statutes so that Presidential election re-
turns might be carried to the Capitol by
