wife squealed on Her Hubby.

Edward Holcroft, of Morrice, has
been arrested and lodged in Jail at
Flint, on suspicion of being the MUIR
derer of John Kesler, who was killed
in that city on the night of July l..
Holcroft formerly worked there, but
has been absent from the city for some
time. During the past three weeks he
has been living with his father-in-law,
c. w. Chapman, near Morrice, where
he was arrested. According to the
story that comes from Morrice, the ar
rest of Holcroft resulted from a state
ment made by his wife. She says that
10 days after the Kesler murder her
husband confessed to her that he was
the perpetrator of the deed. She says
he swore her to secrecy, and threatened
to take her life il she told anyone.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly crop bulletin of the
Michigan weather bureau says that
during the early days of the week light
scattering showers occurred in most of
the counties of the lower peninsula
In the southeast section, especially
Genessee and Lapeer counties, these
showers were heavy enough to relieve
the drought, but generally the rainfall
has been insufficient in most of the
principal agricultural counties. Corn,
late beans, late potatoes, sugar beets,
buckwheat and pastures are suffering
Corn cutting has been quite general in
most sections, this work being no doubt
fastened at least two or three weeks
by the drouth. The yield of corn, both
In quantity and quality, is much poorer
than expected four weeks ago. The
dry, hot weather has blasted consider
able buckwheat. Pastures are gener-
ally brown and short. Sugar beets are
in fairly good condition. Fall plow-
ing is delayed. Fruits of most kinds
are scarce and poor, especially apples.
In the upper peninsula the weather
and crop conditions are very promising.

accident is mystery as the engineer,

rendered verdict for cents against

that the justice, the officers of the

A Row Ended in a Double Tragedy.


A double tragedy was enacted near
Coleman on the 31st and as a conse-
quence, Henry Wilks and John Mel
choir are dead and VIM. Graves is in
custody with bullet wound in his leg.
The direct cause of the trouble was due
to the fact that Graves persisted in
closing up certain right of way or
highway which was not a registered
road, but had been used so long as
such that it was really one by custom.
On the day in question Melchoir and
Graves renewed the quarrel, and Mel
choir followed Graves to his home. A
fist FIGHT ensued in which Melchoir got
decidedly the worst of it. He drew a
revolver and fred at Graves, the ball
passing through his left leg above the
knee. Graves called to his wife to
bring out his rifle and as she was COM
ing out with the gun Henry Wilks and
Grin Outman ran out of some bushes
Wilks seized Mrs Graves and at
tempted to disarm her. Graves saw
them scuffling and ran to her aid.
Taking the rifle, which was Win
chester, he turned it upon Wilks and
fred, killing him instantly He then
turned on Melchoir and shot him, the
ball passing through his arm above
the elbow and then entering the body.

One of the peculiar effects of the

Tax Commission at Work.

The state tax commission is meeting
with an even more prompt and salts

addressed to the people of the state
generally than was expected. The in
dications are that there are hundreds

dent that there neighbors are escaping
their just share of taxation, and all
these are getting Into the game" II
is perhaps needless to say that none OF
these correspondents have confessed
that they were not being taxed enough
themselves The commission is being
rather severely criticised in some quar-
tiers for instituting this wholesale spy
system throughout the state, but at
present it promises to add quite bit
to the assessment rolls.

The Transvaal's note to Great Brit
ain offering the fve-year franchise and
the other concessions was strongly
worded and explained that the conces.
sions were made with a sincere desire
TO fully settle all differences, to put an
end to strained relations and to avert
a disastrous war. Therefore, prompt
answer was requested. The note of
Conyngham Greene in reply was con-
ciliatory and tantamount to an accept
ance of the five-year offer. It agreed
to waive the suggested commission of
inquiry, provided a representative to
be appointed by Sir Alfred Miner
should be given facilities in Pretoria
to make an investigation of the fran
chise question and provided the report
of such representative should prove
satisfactory. Otherwise the Transvaal
governments was requested to await
further suggestions from the imperial
government before submitting new
PROPOSALS TO the volksraad. Ms.
Greene's note in conclusion suggested a
further conference at Cape Town.

ATTACKS ON THE ARMY.
Philippine Soldiers Called Drunk
ards and Gamblers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-John H. Peyton,
army secretary of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew, who was sent TO the Philippines
last spring by Bishop Doane, of Albany,
chairman of the Protestant Episcopal
Board of Domestic and Foreign Missions,
has Just returned and is going to St. Louis
soon to make a report there before the
missionary council.
He calls the American troops now in
Manila, or there when he left "drunkards,
rakes. and gamblers" Religious effort, he
says, is out of the question from American
missionaries so long as there is an army.
and such an army as living example, and,
to the Tagallo mind, fair examples of
American civilization and Christianity.
Mr. Peyton says education must be first
undertaken but even that cannot be pros
ecuted until peace is obtained. He sug-
gests that ii would be far better to put the
$500 600 which it would cost TO make per-
manent the Dewey arch in Madison Square
into a college to be located in Manila.
Mr.. Peyton served in one of the South
ern regiments during the Spanish war, and
did brotherhood work at MOntauk. While
in Manila he helped to organize Holy
Trinity Mission there, the first Episcopal
work in the Philippines, but it has been
able to accomplish little.
