The American glass industry is
enjoying deserved prosperity. Ev-
erything from cut glass table ware
to beveled-edged mirrors is being
manufactured in this country in
much more satisfactory grades than
anything that France or Germany
have yet produced. The best evil
dence of this fact is that while the
imports of foreign glass have fallen
off over 80 per cent within the last
ten years, the exports of American
glass have increased over 500 per
cent during the same period. 1t is
estimated by one of the best author
tiles in the trade that there is 25C
per cent more glass used in this
country at present than there was
ten wears ago.

For several days before the show
the New DOMINION warned people
not to play any games of chance or
to tackle the fakirs. In spite of this
number OF verdant specimens did
it. They are the kind who do not
read the local paper, or any other for
that matter, to get their information
in cheap reliable and honest man
ner. They however are compelled
to pay for their experience. One
fellow lost enough yesterday to pay
for the New DOMINION seventy years.
The experience he got however will
probably last him for that long.

Got EN- on the Hip.

1t looks as if the county treasurers
and registers of deeds have the state
tax commission on the hip. The stat
ute creating the commission is silent
regarding compensation for informa-
ton furnished by these officials, and
the law does not compel them to fur
nish it gratis Many have already
struck, and it seems as though the tax
commissions must either have to do
without the information or dig it out
for themselves The supreme court
has passed upon this question in the
case of County Clerk Gardner, of Ne
waygo VS.. the county supervisors He
brought in bill of $40 against the
supervisors for doing work outside of
of his official duties for the state tax
statistician. The court says there is
no law compelling the supervisors to
pay for it and that he cannot be com
PEELED to furnish such information TO
state officials.

Two years ago last June, VIM. Roach,
of Battle Creek. was sentenced to serve
10 years in the Ionia reformatory, for
shooting his wife. Sometime before
going TO prison, however, he borrowed
Sc from Mrs Lizzie Rosencrantz OF
course when he received 10 years sen.
tence she abandoned the idea of ever
receiving the money and in fact really
forgot that she had that amount loaned
on such security. The other day. how
ever, she received the So from Roach.
The money was earned by working at
two cents an hour overtime and saved
little by little.

20 Indians Were Killed In Two Hard
Fought Battles Between the Mexi-
cans and Ysquis-An Earthquake In
Asia Minor Killed 900 People.
Two Sharp Engagements.

Official reports of two battles be-
tween Mexicans and Yaquis have been
received. Gen. Luis Torres had de-
clared the campaign suspended until
October, but the Yaquis were not con-
suited on that point. Lorenzo Torres
also appears to have made different ar
engagements. On Sept. IA Lorenzo
Torres crossed the river to Vicam, a
town supposed to have been captured
by Luis Torres in August, and found
the Indians. They attacked his rear
guard and a running fight ensued. The
report says the Indians were dispersed
and nine killed. The Mexican loss
was five killed and nine wounded,
among the latter Lieut.. Col. Navarro
of the 18th battalion, one of the best
officers on the Mexican side On Sept.
18th another engagement was fought
and it is officially announced that the
Indians left 81 dead on the field, while
the Mexican loss was IA killed and SO

Abe TruaX, of Owosso, was arrested
on the 18th charged with the murder
of Jack Entwisle, July %, 1896. Emit
wishes maugled body was found near
the railroad track one mile north of

supposed that he was walking on the
track and was run over. But the APP

of blood near the track led many to
believe that he had been killed and
the body placed on the track. Truax
lived nearby in a hut in the woods
with several women. and the two men
were known to have had trouble. His
trial is set for the Goth inst.

weekly Crop Builetin.

The weekly crop bulletin Of the
Michigan weather bureau says that
during the early part of the week gen
orally cool, dry weather with hard
killing frosts prevailed, frosts OF
greater or less intensity having occur
red in most of the counties of the state
In the southern four tiers of countess
these frosts were generally light ana
their damage confined TO low lands,
but over the remaining portion OF the
state they were heavy and killing
Late potatoes suffered the most for the
reason that they had made such slow
progress during the August drouth,
that they were far from being mature
when the frost struck them. Corn
cutting is nearly completed in all sec
tons of the state, so that this crop
suffered very little damage. In the
northern and central counties buck
wheat harvest is in progress. The
yield is very poor as is the prospect in
the southern counties, the drouth hav-
ing greatly shortened the crop. Fall
blowing, preparations for seeding, and
the sowing of winter wheat and rye,
have been quite general, but such
work has been greatly retarded by the
dry condition of the soil. Sugar beets
have made good progress and indicate
a fair crop. Apple picking is in pro-
gress, but the fruit has fallen so badly
that but little remains upon the trees.
The yield is light and of poor quality.

aO,13s Marriages in Michigan Last Year.

There were 20, 1873 marriages returned
by the county clerks to Secretary of
State Stearns for the year 1898. This
is the largest number ever recorded for
a single year and represents a mar
riage rate of 1863 per 1000 population.
The largest number of marriages took
place in November, 1894; while the
smallest number, 1902, was in Febru-
airy. Next to November, June and
then October, seem to be the favorite
months for marriage. The favorite
ages were between 20 and % for both
brides and grooms. Probably the old
est age at marriage on record occurred
in a case reported from Washtenaw
county, in which the age of the groom
was given as 40 years, while the bride
was 81.
