Lansing, Mich, Dec 5.-Book Agent
Charles III. Pratt, who was indicted by
the grand jury with Speaker Adams
and Land Commissioner French, was
arraigned yesterday. He stood mute,
and plea of not guilty was entered.
The charge against him Is giving
Speaker Adams a bribe Of $50, 900.
Pratt was released on $1,000 bail. The
grand jury resumed its work yester-
day after an adjournment of several
days. 1t is believed that the investiga-

Pingree Much Wrought Up.
Pingree was much wrought up when
he read dispatches from Lansing which
limited that he was prompted by an ul-
terror motive in interfering with the
grand jury efforts now under way in
Ingham county. The governor is dis
posed to shower the blame on the hos
tile press" rather than on Prosecutor
Tuttle. IF l was ever conscientious

earnestly, lit was in my desire to give

EVERY FACILITY FOR M'LEAN.
Detroit Officials Perfectly willing for
Schlatter To Bury Himself

Detroit Dec. .5.-A warrant was issued
for the arrest Of DR.. Mclean, alias
"Francis Schlatter," who has been pos
ing here for a week as a divine healer.
He is charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses, and also de-
nounced as a fraud. When Mclean
heard of the warrant he went to the
office of the board of health and ap-
piled for a burial permit, saying that
he would be buried for forty days to
prove to the dOubters and skeptics that
he was really divine.
The health officers told him he could
bury himself without any permit. and
directed him to Elmwood cemetery.
He then went to police headquarters
to learn IL he would be intcrfered
with If he buried himself. He was
told that he would not only not be in
terfered with, but a patrol wagon
would be provided to cart him to the
grave yard.

AONhOh l.. HAYWARD
bis death was not unexpected. He
has been gradually sinking for q
week past.
Senator Monroe L. Hayward was SO
years old and had lived in Nebraska
City for thirty-two years. Although a
lawyer by profession he made his
wealth largely through investments in
lands in Nebraska and Kansas. His
election to the United States senate
was his first appearance in national
politics. He was defeated for gov
ernOr by POynter two years ago, re-
ducing the fusion majority from 49,
600 to 1900. When the last legislature
was found to be Republican Mr.. Hay
ward announced his candidacy for the
United States senate, and the fight
which followed was one of the bit
terest in the history of the state. The
long drawn-out caucus deadlock final
ly resulted in his election, but soon
afterwards he was stricken with paral-
ysis while addressing political meet
ing.
Senator Hayward was veteran of
the civil war, serving in the Twenty
second regiment Of New York volun-
teers, and later in the Fifth cavalry.
He married Miss Jennie Kelton of Put
nam county, y. Y, in 1870, and his
widow and two sons survive him.

You can get all the Convincing Proof you

some one he can depend upon.

responsible lawyer is generally the first

stranger would be doubted,

an age of mrac.es. Not every suit
is tailored al ke-some have the
shaping kneaded in with hand-taken
stitches; others are shaped on ma
chimes which, though cheapest work,
is claimed TO be test, if hone tly
done. And one of Philadelphia S
crack tailors makes the claim).
Think il all oser.
Risks are plenty; seeming guar
antees are plcnty-but you are opt
TO be net with ha ha if you take
the clothes back for redress.
There is one di. erent, separate,
