Senator Carter, OF Montana, was in
Washington day or TWO ago, and
said OF the political outlook: "Presi-
dent Mckinley will be renominated
and reelected by an overwhelming
majority OF the electoral vote The
democrats are hopelessly beaten in
advance, for they have no issues
Bryan is about dead. I do not think
that Bryan will be the nominee OF his
party in 1909, though am aware that
great many of the democratic lead
ers profess 10 be for him. German
is popular in the East, and if nom
mated would put up stiff fight, but
he would hardly be satisfactory to the
radical element of his party in the
South and West. The democrats are
in bad position, for there never was
a time when they had 50 little presi-
dental timber, and il Bryan should be
nominated, it will be largely due to
the sca1 city of av ailaoie candidates. .

Admiral Dewey has written that he
will arrive in New York harbor not
later than Oct. /, and that he may
possibly get there little earlier He
will receive such welcome and ova-
ton as was never given to any
American, and the best part of it is
that he deserves all the honor that
will be given him. There are other
heroes OF the war with Spain, all
of whom are honored by an apprecia-
tive and patriotic people, but no man
ever did SO much in single day to
raise his country in the estimation of
the whole world as George Dewey did
on the memorable May day in Manila
harbor. Dewey is not only an Amer
lean hero, but he is a world hero,
whose name will be known and
honored as long as brave deeds give
men places in the inches of the tenn
pie Of fame, and are recorded in song
and story

Stampede at n Funeral.

West Branch was the scene of the
widest excitement on the morning of
the 10th A funeral procession was
moving along Main street, when the
pair of horses bring up the rear of the
long line of carriages, became fright
ened at a locomotive which was stand
ing on the tracks near the street and
putting. The driver lost control of
the animals and they started on mad
race through the procession Other
horses became stampeded and began
running in every direction. A dozen
carriages were overturned and wrecked
and their occupants thrown to the
ground. All were more or less in
jured. When the panic finally sub
sided there were only three carriages
left in the procession. A dozen pairs
of horses ran away, and the street pre-
scented a sight, the wreckage being
over several blocks.

A sad Family MIxup.

Several years ago, Mrs. Anna Il.
Wrisley, of Kalamazoo, sued for di-
voree from her husband, Frank Wris-
ley, in the Kalamazoo county court.
1t was proven that he was negligent
and cruel, and Judge Buck complied
In this instance, it was the duty of the
solicitor, so Judge Buck says, for the
complainant, to notify the defendant
but he never received such notification,
although he was living in Charlevoix
at the time. Mrs Wrisley, thinking
herself free, married VIM. r. Doyle
and had two children by him. Mr..
Wrisley recently appeared on the scene
and demanded possession of Gladys,
daughter. A squabble ensued and the
matter was again brought before the
circuit court of Kalamazoo county.
After hearing Mr.. Wrisley's tale, the
court set aside the former decree, leav-
ing Mrs. Doyle, the legal wife of her
first husband, and sadly entangling
their domestic ties Judge Buck says
that he did the best he could under the
circumstances and states that fault
lies with the solicitor of the complain
ant in not complying with the law in
serving subpoena upon Wrisley in
the proper manner.
