SUPERINTENDENT MERRIAM, of the
Census Bureau says a Washington
dispatch, is being overwhelmed with
applications for clerical appoint
ments, although it will be many
months before any considerable num-
Der of clerks will be put to work in
the Bureau. 1t will be just as we'll
for everybody to understand at the
beginning that it will be a waste
of time to put in applications that are
not endorsed by either a Senator or
representative, because no appoint
ments will be made from outside of
the District of Columbia without such
endorsement. The appointments are
to be apportioned as far as possible
among the states, and when the quota
of a state has been determined upon,
the Senators and representatives from
that State will be allowed to name
them, with the understanding that no
persons named will be appointed if
they fail to pass the examination
prescribed by the Bureau.

One of the new laws provides that

Congressman McCleary in recent
interview states that there was some
thing decidedly wrong in our cur
rency system when money is loaned
for IL per cent in Montana, and for 8
per cent in New York. He says that
the currency question will never be
settled until some equality is brought
about. The plan for disposing of
this evil has not been decided upon,
but it may be that there will be fewer
banks but larger than the present
ones, as there is in some foreign
countries.-Atwater Republican.

A local business man told us the
other day that the sash and door fac
tories in Minneapolis were crowded
with orders and that they found it
difficult to fill them all. This proves
that building boom is on all over
the Northwest, and that in spite Of
the fact that an additional duty has
raised the price of lumber. 1t is a
condition which clearly illustrates the
Republican theory on protection, that
taxing one class for the benefit of
another is to the advantage of BOTH

Sugar Beet Notes.

The farmers are pretty well along
with the pulling and harvesting of their
beets. Several excellent stands are re-
ported, among which might be men
toned those raised by George Parsons
and Samuel Wilcox.
On Thursday, Oct 3, the Michigan
Sugar Co.'S plant, the pioneer sugar
factory of Michigan, started on its Sec
ond campaign and everything is moving
along like clock work. During the time
the plant was idle il received thorough
overhauling and the capacity was en-
larged from 800 to 800 tons per day, and
the quality of the product has now
reached very high standard.
The plant is slicing 800 tons of beets
each day, and from early morn till late
at night long line of farmers teams
are headed that way and mt the beet
sheds busy scene is presented The
first shipment has been made, six car
loads having been sent out already 10 a
ready market. Mich, Sugar Beet.

and are willing TO pay any price. Not
withstanding this demand, however, we
notice several big, husky fellows lying
idly about town, their means of eXis-
tence being one of the unsolved myster-
les. Tramps asking for hand outs should
be given the cold shoulder, as under eX-

Upon invitation of the Alma Sugar
Co, the board Of supervisors and county
officers came 70 Alma last Tuesday TO in.
spect the beet sugar plant They arrived
on the IL 40 Ann Arbor train and were
met at the depot by the officers of the
company and several citizens who had
been invited to join in entertaining the
visitors. They were at once escorted to
the Wright House where dinner was
served to the guests and then were TAX
en- TO the plant where they were shown
the immense buildings, the implicate
and costly machinery and had explained
TO them how the sugar was to be ex-
tracted from the beets. The visitors
were next shown through the Alma
Electric Light 81 Power works and the
Alma SanitariuIn, finishing in time to
catch the 4:20 train home. The visitors
as individuals and representatives of the
people of the county with one accord ex-
pressed themselves to be highly gratified
that there existed within the borders Of

boast of such magnificent institutions

From Lansing journal:
For the second time within a year
Jacob S. Rogers, mailing from Alma has
been united in matrimony TO Mrs. Har-
riet r. Wilcox, formerly of this city but
now residing In Olive, Clinton county
The last marriage occurred in St Johns
last Monday afternoon and in securing
the license for the event Mr.. Rogers gave
his age as II and that Of his bride as Co.
Mr. Rogers secured license in this
city about year ago to wed Mrs. Will
cox, declaring at that time that it was
his fifth venture Soon after his mar
riage, however, IL was discovered that
he had never secured a divorce from his
last wife, what he had supposed TO be a
legal separation turning out to be only a
quit.caim deed OF the property from
the wife TO the husband. When Mr..
Rogers became aware that he was a big.
amist he at once secured counsel and
was informed that his last marriage was
illegal. This was hard blow TO the
loving couple, but they at once separ.
ated and Mr.. Rogers Immediately began
n suit for divorce from his legal spouse
This was secured at a recent session of
the Gratiot county court, and TO satisfy
the wrath OF his wife and TO keep from
being prosecuted for bigamy MIR Rogers
was compelled TO turn over most of his
property 20 her.
The divorce was no sooner obtained
however, than Mr.. Rogers again sought
out Mr5. Wilcox, and after second
wooing of short duration, again led her
TO the altar, willing bride.
