on Senator'S Burrows and Nc
MILAN ut Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Oct. s.-Gov. Pingree
opened his campaign here Friday
night, and if there has been any doubt
as 10 where he stood on the reelec-
ton of Senator Burrows or the atti-
tude he would assume toward Bur
rows in this campaign It was effect
ually dispelled. He urged the impor-
lance of electing legislature that
would give the state the right kind
of taxation laws, that the vast amount
of property not now taxed might be
put on the rolls, and he declared that
the state would now have such a law
but for the influence of the two United
States senators, Burrows and Mem J.
Ian, who al the special session of the
legislature trafficked their federal pat
ronage TO defeat the bill submitted.
Gov. Pingree said this was a terrible
charge, but that 1t was true and he
could prove il. He declared that Bur
rows must be defeated in the interest
of good government and equal tax
alton.

GRAIN CROPS ARE GOOD.
Synopsis o. Secretary Gardner's
Report en- the Condition at
Tlis Time.
THE SHOWING is VERY SATISFACTORY.
Wheat Harvest Is the Largest Ever
Produced In the state-Corn and
Oats Also Turn Ont Well, Hut Po-
tatoes Are Somewhat Injured by
Drought.

Lansing, Oct. 10.-The Michigan crop
report for October issued saturday
night by Secretary of State Gardner
says that the number of acres of grow
ing wheat in the state last spring as
returned by supervisors in the farm
statistics was 1,730, 224; the average
yield per acre as found by threshing
is 1912 bushels, and the total yield in
the state il 33,0S3,261 bushels, the
largest ever known. The total yield
is found by multiplying the number of
acres in each county by the average
per acre in the same county and foot
ing the products. The average per
acre in the southern counties is 1896
bushels; in the central, 1860 bushels,
and in the northern, 1902.
These averages are based upon a re-
turn of 164. 1S3 acres threshed in the
southern counties. more than $4,000 in
the central counties. and more than
10000 in the northern counties. The
average per acre in the state is O.j2
bushels, and in the southern counties
0.55 bushels, less than the September
estimates.
The total number of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
since the September report was pub
lished is 2,154.sS4, and in the two
months, August and September. 3.s67.-
2S1. This is 232. bushels more than
reported marketed in the same months
last year.
Oats are estimated 10 yield 31.75
bushels per acre, barley, 21.79 bushels,
and corn IS bushels of ears. The es-
innate for oats is from threshers' rec
ord The estimates indicate that
these are all full average crops. Corn
was very generally harvested without
damage by frost.
Potatoes are estimated to yield 6s
per cent. and beans &c per cent. of
average crops. The estimate for po-
tatoes indicate a very general belief
that the crop has been badly damaged
by drought.
The percentages for winter apples
are: Southern counties. AZ; central,
II; northern. 70. and state, Sc. One
year ago winter apples were estimated
at only II per cent. in the southern
counties and Is per cent. in the state

AN AGED VETERAN.
\ DETROIT VETERAN TELLS OF THE WAR
AND LEGACY IT LEFT HIM.


When the annual reunion of the c. 4.
X. is held, Michigan is always we'll rep
resented. Around the camp-fres of the
encampment our boys tell of the hard
ships they have gone through and the
listener, who knows nothing of war, will
wonder how they lived to tell the tale.
Few men, who followed old glory and
escaped the shot and shell, returned
home without some legacy as constant
reminder of their war days. Our repre-
sentative found Veteran .. D. Newcomb
at his place of residence, No. 237 Second
st. Mr. Newcomb told him how the lit
tie conqueror had rendered him invalu-
able service. We give his account here
and some words of advice tersely told.
He said:
"a lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of 90
mules, is not tempting water to drink,
but ! was one of many who drank it, and
all of us would have done so if we had
known there was death i'm every swallow.
This illustrates but one Of the many
hardships and privations passed through
during the civil war, and is it no wonder
that G.. \. r. men suffer from aches and
pains, the most prevalent of these be-
ing due to kidney disorders. | am pleased
to note that great many others, who
passed through as trying ordeals as |,
have now learned these troubles can be
mitigated. When | say Doans Kidney
Pills will cure them | not only speak
from experience but from observation.
To all old soldiers or any one suffering
from kidney complaint my advice is to
try that remedy"
