Is the Steam Locomotive Doomed

Men who know say that 10 the next ten
years steam locomotives will disappear and
electric motors will supplant them. They
also say that with the new motive power
trains will rush along at minimum speed
of 100 miles an hour. This will prove a
blessing to those who wish to go quickly
from one point to another, but no more SO
than HOstetter's Stomach Bitters has proved
blessing to those who wish to go quickly
from sickness to health. The Bitters act at
once upon stubborn cases of dyspepsia. in
digestion, biliousness and liver complaint.
They improve the appetite, quiet the
nerves, and induce sound, refreshing sleep.
The trial of bottle will afford convincing
proof. Sold at all drug stores -

SEQUEL OF A HASTY MARRIAGE.
Bride Is Tired of Welded Life in Twenty
Four Hours.

st. Joseph, Mich, June 2S.- The settle
ment of the Ball-Vaughn trouble, which
was taken up in the circuit court Mon
day, is generally conceded. On Dec. 26
last Frank Ball, a barber of Benton
Harbor, married Mildred Vaughn, an
alleged Kentucky heiress and beauty.
In less than twenty-four hours Miss
Vaughn decided that she preferred to
be single, and suit was Immediately
instituted to annul the marriage.
The bride was taken by her mother
and brother to their home at Paducah,
KY, where she has been kept in seclu-
sion until this week. The expectation
that a heavy damage suit would be
commenced by Ball against the mother
and brother for alternating his wifes
affections is said to have FASTENED the
settlement Of the case here.

He Deals in Floating Islands.

Niles, Mich, June 27.-F. w. Flanders,
inventor of the floating island, has
launched on Ringers lake his first ISL
and. The island is about twenty feet
square and can support twenty persons
without reaching its capacity. Tests
that have been made show when the
waves were rolling high the island re-
mains perfectly stable without any
rocking motion. 1t can be easily moved
about with a rowboat and anchored.
Besides being the finest possible ar
rangement for fishing and duck hunt
ing, experiments show that it is fine
life raft for use on lake or ocean
steamers, as 1t cannot be overturned by
the wind or waves and would preserve
those on board ship and dry and the
surf will carry it up on the beach be-
yond the reach of the undertow. One
person could launch one from the deck
of a ship that would carry fifty people.

Michigan'S Blue Ribbon Meeting Still
Leads.

Great preparations are now actively in
progress all over the country for what
promises to be the most sensational cam.
paign in the history of harness racing
Already some fast new material has been
uncovered in the early circuit, but it is at
Detroit that the really high class horses
make their first bow to the public. For
many years the Blue Ribbon Meeting has
stood at the head of that long established
series, the Grand Circuit, and its popular
ity continues to increase with every fresh
visit of the flying sulkies to the superb
course at Crosse Pointe.
So it is that the eyes of the trotting
world are now turned toward Michigan
in anticipation of the glorious carnival of
speed that will be held at the City of the
Straits next month. Chief among the
attractions of the week from July 18th to
2lst is the Merchants and Manufacturers
stake of $4,000 for 2:24 trotters, and its
companion event, the Chamber of Com
merce stake for PAGERS of the same class.
More than 500, 900 has already been dis
tributed to the former successful candi-
dates for the classical an. & NJ" and
tn, eleventh contest for this rich prize
has once more drawn the best of the
young trotters in training. There are no
less than twenty-three of them named for
the race this year and they come from
many states to battle for the largest sum
offered in the Grand Circuit. James But
Ter, the lucky New Yorker who had the
winner last year in Directum Kelly, has
found another fast son of Direct in Cali
fornia, and will try to carry off the hon.
ors again. His new aspirant is called Di-
rect Kirke, and he is said to have the
same whirlwind flight of speed that has
made his older relatives famous.
Michigan is well represented in the
IN. & NJ" this year, as four of her prom
Using trotters are eligible to start for the
stake on July 18th. These are Bonicito,
a mare now being trained at the Crosse
Pointe track by James E. Burns; Irony,
son of the old hero Pilot Medium, owned
by w. w. Todd, of Jackson; Dan Wilkes,
one of Coldwater's crack steppers, named
by s. B. Kitchell, of that city; and Star
mont, Efrom Monroe. The last named
horse was competitor for this same
stake in 1897, and would have tried it
again last July if he had not gone lame.
He is doing so well this season that his
owner, John Vail, will make third at
tempt to pull down the big plum with
his chestnut trotter.
Besides these attractions there are many
other important events for the next Blue
Ribbon Meeting, and no better opportu-
nifty for visit to Detroit could be desir-
ed. There will be excursion rates from
all points within 155 miles from the
metropolis on the various lines of railroad
beginning July 18th, and every lover of
the noble horse should take advantage of
this chance to see the champions and
make their debut at
Crosse Pointe.

More Officers for the Philippines.

Washington, June 2S-The war de-
partment is going over the list Of army
officers to see whether any may be
found who can be made available for
service in the Philippines by being de-
tached from their present commands.
In many cases officers serving with reg
iments in the United States have Of
fered to be transferred to regiments in
the Philippines. Nearly every trans
port bound for Manila will carry off,
GERS to take the place of those who are
unable to perform duty by reason of
illness or wounds received in battle.

PINGREE is FOR ALGER:
Governor Gives Out Statement
to That Effect.
ALGER HIS CHOICE FOR SENATOR.

An Alliance Is Formed at a Meeting Mt
which Several of the Pingree state
leaders and the Secretary of War and
the Governor Were Present-Plan of
Campaign Opposes Trusts and Favors
Election of senator by Popular Vote.
Detroit. June 24.-Governor Pingree
gave out a public statement to the eff
feet that he had combined with Secre-
tary Alger in the interests of Ayers
senatorial candidacy. General Alger
will not withdraw under any circum-
stances nor will he spend any money
in the campaign. The platform of their
campaign will be opposition to trusts
and senatorial elections by a popular
vote. The alliance was made at a con-
ference held at which several of the
Pingree state leaders and the general
and the governor were present.
Alger His Personal Choice.
IT have avoided committing myself
heretofore" said the governor, because
l wanted an opportunity to talk with
the general first. But all along General
Alger has been my personal choice for
senator. i wired him at Petoskey, ask
ing him If could see him in Detroit on
his way back to Washington. In reply,
he arranged to meet me last evening.
OF course, 1 can't speak for my friends,
but those / have talked with are Alger
men beyond question. They cannot sup
port Senator Mcmillan. They certainly
cannot be classed as friends of mine
If they do. They cannot forget eight
years of political history in a day, nor
can they live with the representatives of
judicious combinations and unequal
taxation and pretend at the same time
to be friends of equal and just taxation
and foes Of trusts. At our meeting Gen.
eral Alger told us frankly the history
of his relations with Senator Mcmillan
in the matter of the senatorship. He
has dealt with General Alger the same
as he has treated everyone who ques-
lions his ownership of the Republican
party.
Alser i'm 10 SLny.
General Alger is in TIE race and to
stay to the erd." continued the govern
or, land you can say in the strongest
English you can write that i am with
him heartily, and l propose to do all L
can personally and with my friends
to aid his candidacy. AS General Alger
put it to me- he will be a candidate if
he has assurance for no more than one
vote in the legislature. Alger is on the
right side of the two greatest ques-
lions of the day. 1 said to him that 1
could not personally support a man who
would not declare himself on the right
side Of those two public questions. The
two questions on which l wanted to
know his position are those of trusts
and election Of United States senator's
by direct vote Of the people. l wish to
say that the general is absolutely
sound on both these questions. General
Alger believes firmly that United States
senators should be elected by direct vote
of the people,
