Leroy Dickinson, of ST. Louis,
Gratiot county, Michigan, has organi-
zed party of ten, including his wife,
mother and two brothers, and the first
week in May will start for the holy
land to found colony. The mem

time is near at hand They have solo
their property at st. Louis and will
buy 200 acres of land near Jerusalem

Leroy is evidently impressed with
the idea that the earth has reached

the retrogression of Americans from
peace to fire and sword he is not faI
wrong.

FIXTURE Of the Bicycle.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufac-
turers that the 1899 models represent
the perfect wheel, and that in the flu
ture the silent steed will be practical
ly what it is to-day. Improvement
seems to be impossible, as the bicycle
accomplishes everything that is re-
quired of it. Precisely the same
thing is true of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t represents the limit OF
science in overcoming disease, and ii
is impossible to made a better medi-
cine for the stomach, kidneys, liver or
blood. A few doses of the bitters will
start weak nervous and bloodless PEG.
pie on the road to strength. A regu-
lar course of treatment will bring
back the pink to the cheeks and spar
kle to the eye. Sleep will come nat.
urally, and it will be refreshing and
healthful. Dyspepsia, indigestion
and constipation will be completely
banished, and the blessings of true
health bestowed. Never take sub
stitute for this perfect remedy.

TERRIBLY BURNED.
John Pool Jr. in Powder Ex-
plosion.

He Drops Lighted Lamp Into Can
of Powder and is Blown Out Of the
Room-Accident Occurred in Mine
Near Here--Dr. Gibbons Called-Ex-
tent OF the Injuries Receiyed-0fher
Accidents in the Same Family He
May Get over the Accident Without
Serious Results.
There seems to be a strange fatal
ity pursuing the family Of John
Pool who lives near the Dorsey
school house. No sooner does the
devoted family escape from one trial
than they are in the midst of anoth-
er. The last one is very sad case
and the victim is suffering great
deal on account of the accident
which caused it.
John Pool, Jr, was very badly
burned by powder explosion in a
mine near home on Wednesday even
ing He may not recover in conse
quenee of the burns received but it
is too soon as yet to tell what will be
the outcome.
He was miner and had forgotten
his pick when leaving the bank. On
returning for it he dropped his lamp
into keg OF powder which had been
partially emptied and an explosion
followed He was blown clear out
of the room by the force of the ex-
plosion Had the powder been CON
fined he would have been killed in
stantly.
AS it was the clothing was blown
from his body from the waist up
ward and the rignt side was terribly
burned. The eye sight strange to
say was not DESTROYED and in case
the young man gets well it will be
all right.
The agony from the burns was so
great that Poole nearly went crazy.
He rolled in mud puddle at the
mouth of the mine and in another
nearby. The by-standers could do
nothing to relieve or control him
and he ran around in his suffering
gasping for breath and some relief
from the terrible suffering into
which he was plunged.
DIR. Gibbons was summoned and
dressed the burns affording some re-
lief by means of opiates and hypo-
dermic injections He thinks that
with care and unremitting attention
the young man will recover
He is very popular fellow and is
member of the Junior Order with
whom he is very popular. Many of
them came to see him after the acct
dent.
A few months ago brother died
with peritonitis, there has been two
cases of fever in the family recently,
the father has been sick and this
boy has had his collar bone broken.
just recently he recovered from this
accident. A few minutes before he
was blown up he came near having
his leg broken by car jumping the
track and catching him, but aside
from few bruises escaped from this
danger.

Senator Scott OF this state has TAX
en- step that might be followed with
great deal OF credit by many other
of our public men who are able imam
eially to do so. He has endowed an
annual prize which will be offered
perpetually to the women students In
the University
Mrs. Raymond wrote TO the Senator
asking him to take the step and he
very graciously acceded to the no.
quest. He wrote her that he would
be very glad to do so and another let
ter was written to Hon. George G.
Sturgiss president of the board OF re.
gents in reference to the matter.
The prize is OF one hundred dollars
and Is to be known as the ssScott
Prize in Oratory.n 1t is open to the
women students OF the University and
will be under the auspices of the
Woman's League Of the institution.
The contests for this prize are to be
held sometime during Commencement
week and no doubt will attract q great
deal of attention and create
much rivalry among the fair students.
The preliminary contest was set for
the fifteenth Of this month before the
Scott prize was created. The contests
have been arranged for by the League
and they have raised the money to
pay the prize heretofore but they will
low be relieved of that burden.
They can turn their attention to
the deficit which hangs over the
League on account OF the publication
Of the Aurora last year and which ut
one time threatened to have 1t be paid
by the girls who had this in charge
and who did great deal Of hard work
for the organization Now that the
League has been relieved of this bur-
den in the way Of the prize they can
attend TO this matter.
There has been some talk of aban-
doning the contest owing TO some
complications that have arisen but 1t
is now thought that the arrangements
will be carried out as originally IN
tended. In the preliminary contest
several contestants viii be selected
who will make the final test in June.
The first trial will be secret and the
public will not be allowed TO attend.
