Guatemala to Get Cash.

A syndicate of American, English
and German bankers has about per-
fected arrangements with the govern
ment of Guatemala to advance to that
country ST.. 200, 900, relieving it of its
debts and placing the country on a
firm financial basis. Under the terms
of the agreement the money will be
loaned for term of 25 or so years and
will draw interest at l per cent. In
addition the syndicate will be allowed
to control certain percentage of the
customs receipts of the different ports
1t is believed by those interested that
this loan will have the effect of ending
the numerous internal revolutions
which have threatened to disrupt the
country. There will be so much Amer
lean, English and German capital in
volved in the country that the three
powers will necessarily be called upon
to protect their interests and it is be-
leved the presence of fleet of foreign
warships will so overawe the revolu-
tionists that the evils resulting there
from will be obviated

witnesses besides the officiating clergy
men were Mrs. Washington Mclean
and Mrs Ludlow, wife of Admiral Lud-
low, mother and sister respectively of
the bride, and Lieut.. Caldwell, Admiral
Dewey's secretary. The arrangements
for the wedding were made with all
the secrecy which has attended the
whole affair. AS Admiral Dewey is
not Roman Catholic. special dispen-
sation was required for the perform
ance of the ceremony, and this was
procured by FIR. Macllin from Bishop
Curtis, vicar general of the diocese of
Baltimore, who granted it in the alb
sence of Cardinal Gibbons, who is at
present in New Orleans. The Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey will spend their honey
moon in New York city.

$4,000. The aggregate miles of road
operated is AS, and the aggregate
number of cars operated 456. The total
number of employees is l,602 and the

gated Ss7,7s9, an average of S4,625.
The labor commissioner is now making

Grand Jury in Ingham County.

Judge Person. of the Ingham circuit
court. has summoned a grand jury to
convene in Lansing. Thursday morn
ing. Nov. 16, but what for and what
matters he is TO lay before the jury
men. for their consideration, is a closely
guarded secret. The judge has held
several conferences with Prosecuting
Attorney futile, the past few days.
and has posted him as TO his duties in
connection with the matters he wants
investigated, but not "a word has
leaked out as to their nature or magni-
tude. Grand juries are a very uncom-
mon article in Ingham county, the ne
cessity for calling one having arisen
but two or three times in the history
of the county. The last one was called
to investigated the alleged fraud in
connection with the vote east for state
officers in 1898, when state Treasurer
Hambitzer Secretary of State Jochim
and Acknowledgement Ellis were in
dicted The latter was acquitted at
the subsequent trial, and after drag
ging along for nearly two years, all the
cases were nolle pressed. 1t is thought
that the present grand jury has been
called for the purpose of investigating
into the influences that promoted GER
tain legislation by the last legislature.

October Crop Renort.

The official crop report for October
says that although the weather during
the month was exceptionally fine, it
was too warm and dry for wheat TO
make good growth. 1t was admirable
for husking corn, except where the lat
ter was in the shock, it being too dry
at times to secure the fodder in good
shape. Potatoes, sugar beets and other
root crops were dug and secured as fast
as possible.
The condition of wheat. as compared
with an average, is 81 for the state, 50
in the southern, SO in the central and
90 in the northern counties. Fields
that were sowed early made a fairly
good growth, but in most parts of the
state these fields of early sown wheat
are thoroughly infested with the Hes
sian fly. The complaint of this is gen.
eral, many correspondents reporting
that the pest is worse than in many
years. Many fields could not be pre-
pared on account of dry weather. These
were necessarily sowcd late and while
the plant on them is small, it is reason
ably free from the fly and may event
ually yield the best crop. Some fields
are spotted, while others upon up lands
have been badly washed.
The estimated yield of shelled corn
in bushels is 20 for the state. 1t is evil
dent that the dry weather last summer
hurt the corn to u considerable extent,
as correspondents report that it is not
yielding as was expected. Numerous
correspondents report nubbinS and
much soft corn. The per cent cut up
for fodder is 80 for the state. Some
correspondents report that they are us
ing fodder for feed and are selling their
hay to shippers.
The acreage of clover seed harvested
as compared with average years is 81
for the state. The average yield per
acre is III.
Dry weather in August and the hard
frosts about the middle of September
cut the potato crop short to a consider
able extent. The estimated average
yield in the state is GJ bushels.
The average condition of horses, cat
tie and sheep is % in the state, and
that of swine is %. Hog cholera is
prevalent in many counties. Pastures
have not been good. and the result is
that in some localities stock is not in
first-class condition for winter.
Information regarding the use Of
commercial fertilizers was first gath
cred last July. 1t showed that the
eastern counties of the southern and
central sections, those bordering on the
lakes, used much commercial fertilizer.
The report showed that in Macomb
county 81 per cent of the farmers used
these fertilizers; Wayne, 4G; st. Clair,
40; Monroe, %; Sanilac, 10, and Huron,
Q This months report shows what
per cent of the farmers use these fertil-
izers on wheat The average in the
state is per cent. Inasmuch as the
fertilizers are so generally used in one
section, il is concluded that its use must
be beneficial, and every farmer is urged
to investigate the question thoroughly.

Jewett Pease, of Comstock township,
Kalamazoo county, has raised some
sugar beets this year that are corkers.
On one patch the beets are from five to
ten pounds each in weight, and will go
over 30 tons to the acre.
Men are so scarce in Berrien county
that sugar beet growers cannot get
enough help TO secure their crop. One
big nursery concern there raised the
wages of its employees recently in order
to hold them.
The road through the Gerwols swamp
in Oregon township, Lapeer county,
has sunk again. This township has
already spent over $500 on this strip
and prospects are good to spend several
hundred more.

How TO Avoid Colds DurlnQ wintor.

that winter is an unhealthful season,
is all wrong. Winter is just as health
ful as summer, II people will take care
Of themselves. If you want to go
through the winter without a cold, OBJ
serve these few simple rules:
Don't overhead your house, and
don't stop all ventilation. Sleep in a
cool room, but keep warmly covered.
Always take off your outdoor wraps
when you come in the house, and al
ways put them on when you go out.
And, lastly, just as long as there is
snow on the ground, don't go out with
out your rubbers. This last rule is the
most important OF all, for two colds

1t is officially stated that an agree
ment, subject to the approval of the
United States, has been reached be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, ac-
cording to which the Samoan islands,

Serious News From Japan.

Advices received by the Oriental

Upon the recommendation of the gen

Ger will be sent to the scene of HOSTILE
ties for the purpose of gaining a prac-
teal knowledge of the strength and
tactics of the BOer army. This move
on the part of the japanese. according
to the Kobe Chronicle, is indispensable
for the reason that Japan may be forced
to rely upon the assistance of the Brit
ish army at a distant date. The Rus
sian minister in Seoul has created con-
siderable stir in the diplomatic circles
of Japan by making demand to have
the spheres of influence of the respec-
tive powers in Korea defined and has
made "A proposition to this effect to the
ministers of various powers, through

strongly opposes the movement and it is
claimed in official circles that Russia
has evolved a plan to counteract Japan's
