The last issue of the Michigan

existence, and the sixth under its

steadily, and to-day it stands in the

The Standish Independent says in
regard to Silver Bros. Show: The
show under canvass, last night was a
surprise TO all those who attended.
Every act and every feature was first
class. The illustrated songs by Mr..
and Mrs. Lote Silver were the finest
ever shown In Standish. The min
strel part, the speciality acts, songs
and dancing were far ahead Of many
opera house performances. Space
and time forbids as full writc-up az
this clever company deserves. The
Silver Brothers are all performers OF
merit. Good music is pleasing
feature of the show. An absence OF
the vulgarity that too often associ.
ates itself with tent shows Is toll
Grated by the Silver Eros. Ladies
who attended were heard to remark;
1T is the best slow Of the season.

CENSORSHIP is
TOO STRICT
On War Correspondents
at Manila.
Newspaper Correspondents are
Not Allowed to Give News
of the War.

A dozen or more American News
paper correspondents in the Philip.
pines, have entered protest 10 Gen
Otis in regard to censorship excl
cised over them. They framed and
presented statement, to Gen. Otis
given below, which clearly shows
that the whole truth about the war
has not been given out, and that in
reality, the people at home know
very little about it. The statement
of the correspondents is as follows {:
"Tha undersigned being all staff
correspondents of American news
papers stationed at Manila, unite
in the following statement:
"We believe that owing to official
dispatches from Manila made public
in Washington, the people of the
United States have not received q
correct impression of the situation
in the Philippines, but that these
dispatches have presented an ultra
optimistic view that is not shared
by the general officers in the field.
"We believe the dispatches incor.
rectly represent the existing condi.
tions among the Ahilippines in re-
spect to dissensions and demoriliza
ton resulting from the American
campaign. and to the brigand charac-
tel of their army.
We believe the dispatches err in
the declaration that the situation is
we'll in hand aud in the assumption
that the instruction can be speed
lily ended without greatly 'ncreas-
ea force:
I'VE think the tenacity of the FIJI
ippipo purpose has been undsresti
mated, and that the state ments are
unfounded that voludteers are will
ing to engage in further service.
"The censorship has compelled us
'to participate in this misrepresenta-
'tlon by exercising or altering uncon
troverted statements of facts on the
plea, as General Otis stated that
they would alarm the people at
home, or have the people of the
United States by the ears"

Do You Sec tho Point

It's just this. If you<go on allow
ing .vour eyes to smart and ache and
trouble you, you may new er make
them strong again. I've studied the
eye and know that it is patient,
long-suffering organ. but it will
snap at last. Then all the oculists
and opticians in the W. rid can not
put 1t together again. Don't pro-
crastinate. Any irritation about the
eyes whatever means something. II
will not cost you anything to call on j.
ID. Pobst, Optician and Rcfractionist
and have them examined.
