A Very Peculiar VIII.

Minnie Logan, of Flint, has fled a
bill in the circuit court from Charles
Logan for decree of divorce and also
TO protect her property interests in the
Mrs. Eleanor Logan estate. The latter
died few months ago and left will
disposing of large amount of prop
erty. In the will Charles Logan was
cut off from any benefit unless he had
disposed of Minnie Logan, his wife in
legal way. Logan made several at
tempts to get decree but failed each
time. In the bill of complaint filed by
Minnie Logan she charges Charles
with desertion and non-support and
alleges that he is entitled to the share
Of property mentioned for him in the
will although he was not successful in
getting rid of his legal wife. Judge
Wisner granted an injunction refrain
ing the parties from disposing of the
property.

is perhaps needless to say that none of
these correspondents have confessed
that they were not being taxed enough
themselves. The commission is being
rather severely criticised in some quar-
tiers for instituting this wholesale spy
system throughout the state, but at
present it promises to add quite bit
to the assessment rolls.

proceeding upon the same lines prac-

negotiations in which Mr.. Choate took
part. That is, the United States holds
firmly to the contention that the viii

as on the American side of the line.

Turned Things Black.

One of the peculiar effects of the
heavy rain at Port Huron on the 1st
was the ascending of a dense vapor
laden with carbonic acid gas from
Black river The midsummer putrid
condition of the stream, resulting from
the action of the fiber works acids on
the vegetable matter in the river was
in its most aggravated form, and the
odor was carried considerable dis
lance. The vapor chung to everything
it touched, and the gas is said to have
entered the vaults of bank located
beside the river to such an extent as
to discolor the silver coin. Silverware
in nearby jewelry store also became
furnished by the fumes. Efforts to
cause the abatement of the nuisance
are again being revived.

A Boiler Explosion In a Pennsylvania
Iron Works Causes the Death of
Five and Injury of Seven Persons
That Alaska boundary Question.


A boiler explosion at the Republic
Iron Works, Pittsburg, Pa, on the list,
killed five men and seriously injured
seven others. A fire which broke out
following the explosion, added to the
horror. The mill was partly wrecked
and the entire plant was compelled to
close down. The explosion occurred
just as the night force was leaving
and the day force was coming on duty,
so that there were only few men in
the mill at the time. If ii had hap
pened half-hour later, the list of
dead and injured would have been APP
palling. 1t occurred in the 14-inch de-
partment and the conclusion was ter
rife. Buildings were shaken a mile
away, and dust filled the air for two
or three blocks. 1t entered open win
dows and nearly suffocated persons
who were aroused by the roar and the
shock. Immediately following the ex-
plosion the wreckage took fire and this
added to the difficulties encountered
in rescuing the burned and mutilated
victims. A section of the boiler weigh
ing four tons was blown through the
roof and crashed into a dwelling house
200 yards away. The house was badly
wrecked but the occupants escaped
unhurt

A NEW DIGESTIVE PRINCIPLE
And "A Remarkable Proposition.


The leading medical publications of the
country have been giving much space of
late TO new element for digesting starchy
foods From many articles we take selec-
ton from the Medical Times, New York
I'm these days of progress it is gratifying
to know that cases Of amylaceous, q. e.,
starchy) indigestion, which have so fire.
quently baffied us, can now be treated with
reasonable hope of success. For years we
have been looking for a diastase (digester
or starch) more potent than that found in
the malt extracts. 1t remained for Mr.
Takaraine, japanese chemist, to discover
one of remarkable power. In this product
Taka-Diastase, zee hare tUhdt the profession
has so long desired and it is therefore not
remarkable that many of the best men in
the profession have investigated it, and
the conclusion uniformly reached is that in
cases of inability to digest starches we have
in this ferment q reliable treatment
Most of our food is starch-all vegetables
are largely starch-yet when the stomach
refused TO digest starch medicine has hith-
erto been powerless. Pepsin has been the
backbone of all treatment of Indigestion
excellent for meat foods but valueless for
starch.
Kaskola Tablets are the only form in
which this wonderful remedy is offered to
the general public. We believe them a per-
feet remedy for indigestion and dyspepsia;
they combine the meritorious elements of
old treatments with the new japanese dis
covery.

Indigestion in any form the manufacturers
OF Kaskola desire to prove to you its value

were 3,427,577 acres of wheat sown last

plowed up this year on account of the
hard winter conditions. This left
3,039, 1888 acres standing for the harvest.
AS to the minor crops, it may be men

In the state of Indiana there are 49,
404 farm hands regularly employed and
the average wages paid them by the
month, including board, is $3.50 for
the state. The highest average pay for
the month is s16.7O, and the lowest
average $1,000. There are LILA wom-

families of farmers and the average pay
per week, including board is $1.56. The
highest average in any one county is

Germany Might Name the Spy.

The Cologne Gazette on Aug. 90, in
an inspired article, replying to the for
eign press, says: After the failure of
Maj. Panizzardi and Col Schneider to
convince the French people, Colonel
Schwarzkoppen's intervention in be-
half of one innocently sentenced would
be futile, especially since Germany has
already done more than could be ex-
pected by Count Won Buelow's solemn
declaration, which were given as rep
resenting the empire and the emperor,
and Col. Schwarzboppen's word of
honor in his declarations in Novem-
Der, 1897, that he never had any rela-
tions with Dreyfus, The Tageblatt
says the government might name the
real spy.
