able, however, THAI the attenpt may be
made 10 reorganize the house commit
tees in the interest of the Pingree side,
just as the opposition reorganized the
senate committees last Friday.
Encouraged by their success in the
senatorial and speakership fights, the
anti-Pingree republicans have formally
decided to make a hard fight TO con
troll the state convention 10 be held
next month. For the past two years
they have quietly submitted TO the Pm
gree faction. but now feel sure that
they can win. They have decided to
stand by Justice Grant, of the supreme
court, for denomination, and their can
didate for regent of the university will
be Henry 5. Dean, of Ann Arbor, whom
the opposition have tried TO force OFF
the board by the election last Novem-
ber of Col. Eli r. Sutton of Detroit.
Dean was appointed TO fill a vacancy
and the opposition claims he could
serve by appointment only until the
next general election, whereas he main
tains that his term is for the uneXpired
term of his predecessor, which will not
be until next January. The courts will
be called upon to decide this question
within the next few days. The fight
for Grant and Dean is already under
way, the wires having been laid when
the leaders were here during the re-
cent senatorial contest. II promises
TO be battle royal between the repub-
lican factions for supremacy. Col. SUIT
ton will be the Pingree candidate for
regent, but the forces are divided on
judge.
Senator Burrows will not receive the
democratic vote for senator, but that a
complimentary vote will be given to
some person not yet decided on. The
names of d. j. Campau, eX-oongress-
man Whiting and Thomas Barkworth
were brought up, and it is not unlikely
that one of them will be selected for the
honor.
Thus far the legislature has not been
very fruitful in new bills and judging
by present indications there will not
be as many bills presented as at the last
session. The old members are especial
ly scary in that particular and very
few of them seem 70 have any new
measures up their sleeves. Those who
have are playing waiting game until
they find out what is going to be turned
loose by the new members.
The house has appointed a special
committee of five to investigate the ex-
penditure of the $500,000 war appro-
priation made at the special session OF
the legislature last spring Quarter
master General White reports that
100000 was expended, and that the
general government is expected TO re-
fund about $40O, 900.
Gov. Pingree sent his first nomina-
tions TO the present senate as follows:
Adiutant general, Fred II. Case, of
Three Rivers; inspector general, Ar
thur F. Marsh. of Allegan; quartermas-
ter general, William l.. White, of Grand
! Rapids.
Gov. Pingree and Gen. White think
that the decision of the comptroller of
the treasury that the general govern
ment is not liable for expenses incurred
! by the several states in raising volun-
teers will not apply to Michigan. Gen.
White believes that all but 100000 of
the S5OO.000 Michigan war loan will be
paid back, claims having been already
filed against the general government.

A Logical Conclusion.

In announcing the purchase of the
Chicago Terminal by the Chicago and
Alton syndicate, the Times-Herald
says: 1.-The requirement of the Chi
cago Terminal Transfer Railroad COM
pany is only one of the logical con-
illusions of the purchase of the Alton
by the Northumberland syndi-
cate and the determination to make it
one of the best railway systems in the
west. When the purchase was made
it was known that the St. Louis,
Peoria and Northern railroad, which
now has 165 miles of line completed,
including line from Peoria to Glen
Carbon, would in time come into Chi
cago and tap the territory of the
Alton. This road had already secured
a 100-year contract with the Chicago
Terminal Transfer Railroad company
whereby it could use it's line into Chi
capo.'

HAS TROUBLES THERE, TOO.
Diamond 10 Line and Davenport Have a
Clash.

Diamond 10 Line and Davenport Have
Clash.
The Diamond 10 people and the
city of Davenport came very near
having clash over the erection of
platform by the 10 lines agent,
Jim Osborn, in front of the present
warehouse and between it and the
dump made by the filing for the
Terminal company's tracks Mayor
Baker ordered the platform removed
and designated where it should be
placed. The 10 line representatives
were much wrought up over the pro-.
ceeding and it is said that had not the
company already levied a boycott on
Rock Island would have given Daven-
port the go-by. The manner in which
the outside track of the system that
is being constructed there is going
up into the air, under the process of
successive pickings up, makes it look
as though dixie were to be built in
front of the warehouse that would
effectually cut it off from the river.
BY some strange oversight nc pro-
vision has been made for the draining
off of the surface water that is bound
to accumulate in the vicinity of the
that has been made, aud that is to be
carried further. A heavy rain might
come and create very objection
able nuisance. The removal of the
stage as it is to the north
side of the proposed fill by
the city. and the filling of the space
whereon it now stands, will COM
pletely block the passageway that
teams have had along the front of the
Diamond 10 warehouse. There will
be no thoroughfare left. The effect
of this will be to greatly inconven-
fence the men who have occasion to
handle goods on the levee, and to
hamper the work of the boats, but
there seems to be no way out of the
difficulty. When the Improvement
that is being made is completed the
| warehouse will stand inland long
distance from the edge of the levee.
In time of low water it will be long
and steep climb from boat to the
crest of the tracks and the warehouse
door. The ACCESSIBILITY of a location
on the outside of the line of the
tracks, when they are finished, and
the levee slope is made and paved, is
apparent, unless the steam boats want
| to be cut of. There are number of
| problems in connection with the Dav-
export levee that are yet TO come up
| for solution. Some of them, the
Democrat says, look hard to solve.

MILD FORM OF SMALLPOX.



Discovery of what Health Commits
sioner G. G. Craig pronounced a case
of -varioloid, or modified form of
smallpox, was made last night at 1906
Third avenue. The patient is Mrs.
A. G. Ament, who, with her little son,
occupies apartments on the second
floor at that numb Der. The doctor inn
mediately vaccinated the boy, the
mother having been previously treat
ed. While no fears are expressed for a
spread of the disease, precautionary
measures have been enforced. DR.. Craig
made an effort to have Mrs. Ament ad-
mitted to the smallpox ward at Mercy
hospital, Davenport, but Mayor
Baker denied the request, not desir-
ing to assume such RESPONSE
bility. Mrs. Ament's home has,
therefore, been quarantined, and ofli-
GERS are constantly guarding the place
to prevent people from entering.
1t is thought Mrs. Ament carried the
disease from Davenport, having
done sewing for people in the
smallpox infected district there.

HOT WEATHER MEALS AND
PERSONAL COMFORT.

Fruit of some kind should be used
at the breakfast during hot weather.
Follow this with a dish of four heap
ing teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, cold,
and treated with rich, cold cream.
This dish gives the staying qualities
necessary. Add slice or two of en-
tire wheat bread. with a very little
butter or Grapefruit Butter, which is
n different article than Grape-Nuts,
proper. Use no meat for the hot
weather. Let meat appear but
once in day during this season OF
the year.
A little care in the selection of food
will help one through the heat of the
day in way that will not easily be
forgotten.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused py an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the iniiainma-
ton can be taken out. and this tn be
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surface.
