ON the Beers.

Grand Rapids, Oct. 2S.-Fountain

ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFT.
Neighbors of n Farmer Near Grand
Haven Are in Favor of
Hanging Him.

Grand Haven, Oct. 2S.-Witchcraft
has a firm hold on community of Ger
man settlers a few miles from here. a
young farmer is accused by his neigh
bors of casting spells and otherwise
practicing the black art. One of the
neighbors says the young man has
eXerted mysterious influence over his
stock, his cattle are wild and vicious,
his horses, though they are well fed,
remain as poor as crows. The young
farmer who is accused of all this devil
try looks innocent enough, but the
neighbors, it is reported, are conniving
together to get him out of the way and
are willing to hang him. Hearing of
the designs the farmer consulted Judge
Pagelson and threatens to make it
warm for his neighbors in earnest.

Freight Train Crashes Into . TroIiey
Car Near Detroit, Killing One
and Inturinw Twenty-Five.

Detroit, Oct. 27.-Shortly after mid
night as rapid railway car, Detroit
bound, from Mount Clemens, was
crossing Beaufait street il was run into
by a freight train. Conductor Tony
Schneider, of Mount Clemens, was
killed. There were 25 passengers on
the car, the greater number of whom
were injured, several severely. Ii is
charged that the trolley car did not
come TO dead stop before crossing the
street car tracks, instead il simply
slackened. The trolley was about two
thirds over the crossing when the
freight train struck it, The trolley car
was lifted high in the air and tossed
aside. 1t fell with a crash and was
smashed almost TO splinters. The con-
ductor was standing on the back plat
form at the time of the collision. The
noise of the crash soon drew a crowd
of people and all the ambulances of the
city were summoned The demolished
car caught fire and there is but little

Tommy's Mother Could Clean Him Up
when Occasion Demanded.

This Is true story. Anyway,
prominent city divine vouches for II.
II happened in an East end school, too.
In certain room there was pupil
whose personal appearance, day after
day, betokened lack of inspection by a
careful mother. Polite hints thrown
out by the teacher hadn't the least eff
feet. Tommy came to school i'm the
same condition day after day. At last
the teacher determined to risk criti-
cism and send polite note to Tom
my's mother calling attention to his
dusty appearance, and asking her TO
do what she could toward effecting a
change.
Tommy's seat in the schoolroom was
vacant for three days following the
sending Of the note. The teacher be-
came anxious.
Her fears were allayed, however, on
the fourth day by the appearance Of
Tommy. His appearance had greatly
changed. A brand-new suit caused
him TO strut considerably as he ap-
preached the admiring teachers desk
with slip of paper in his hand. There
was an unmistakable odor of eau de
cologne us he ostentatiously whipped
out clean white handkerchief.
The note that he bore was a short
one:

DECLINES TO RUN.
GubernatOrinl COntest-ODonneI
and Stearns Active Candidates.

Lansing, Oct. 2s.-The announce
ment of Judge Long, of the Michigan
supreme court, that he would not be-
come candidate for governor has
aroused much interest. He had been
looked on as Senator McMillan's choice
for governor, and his definite refusal
TO enter the race leaves the field clear
for several well-known aspirants who
are now pushing their canvass.
IL would not be surprising if the
change in the situation induced Col
A. T. Bliss, of Saginaw. to again seek
the nomination. At Grand Rapids in
1896 il was nip and tuck between Bliss
and Pingree. He is Grand Army man
and has strong following among the
veterans.
EX-Congressman James O'Donnell is
an active candidate for governor and
his /chance is fair for capturing the
prize.
Secretary of State Stearns is also a
candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination and has met with much en-
couragement.

Marquette, Oct. 30.-The closed sea-
son for trout and whitefish, which be-
gins November l, will cause about 40
men to be thrown out of employment
here. In all the upper peninsula fish
cries several hundred men will be af-
fected. The catch this season has been
good, particularly of lake trout, and
the fishermen are not at all pleased that
they have to suspend operations with
the two naturally most profitable
months ahead of them. The closed sea-
son lasts only six weeks, but when the
open time comes again the season is so
far advanced ii does not pay to put tugs
in commission. The sailboat fishers re-
sumo, however, and keep at work till
about January Is.

of fish to be handled by the Green Bay
Fishermen's association, amounting TO
$4,000 packages. An advance over the
