efficient as protective measures, but
also in bringing increased volumes of

from customs last month were more
than $3OOO,OOO in excess of those In

Michigan Wheat in Danger.

The crop report issued by Secretary of
State Stearns says the fate of the Michi-
gan wheat crop depends largely on fu-
ture weather. Correspondents report
that it suffered injury during January

Queer Rappings in Sick Room.

Physicians and laymen are deeply puz-
zled by the peculiar case of Harriet
Clark, 13-year-old girl, living at the
home of her uncle, Joseph Trudell of Cal
rmet. On recent night she retired, in
apparently perfect health. An hour later
strange rappings and knockings began in
her room. The girl was badly frightened,
and the family and neighbors were non
pluscd. Those who touched her received
smart electric shocks, and the rappings
increased in violence. DR.. A. q. Mac
Leod prominent and reputable physi-
clan, was summoned, and was unable to
give relief or stop the violent rappings,
which continued from all parts of the
room. The rapping can be heard by
neighbors for fully hundred feet. The
case has been investigated by other ply
sicians and many curious people, but no
explanation has been secured. The girl is
much alarmed and the superstitious ones
among the neighbors believe her possessed

The Real Danger.

Several Republican newspapers in
the country which claim that free
trade is dead issue, because of the
uneXampled prosperity, are probably
not aware Of the fact that many Sec
tons of the country, and our colleges
in particular, are being flooded with
free trade literature, especially of the
kind aiming to show that the protec-
tive tariff is responsible for the So
called trusts. The worst of 1t is that
the free trade propagandists are receiv-
ing aid and comfort from Republican
victims of the foreign markets craze.
who have somehow persuaded them
selves that certain of our industries no
longer need protection, and that we are
in a position to make considerable con-
cessions to foreign producers in return
for prospective small increase in our
export trade. As we well know from
past experience. the protective system
is never so much endangered as when
its professed friends have come to think
that its safety is not menaced,by the

Wide Distribution of Benefits.

Word comes from st. Paul that the
lumber cut of dealers in that city is the
greatest that has ever been in the
city's history. This means not only
prosperity for the lumbermen, but also
for the carpenters, the stone masons
and all who are employed in the build
ing trades, who will be called upon to
work up this lumber into stores and
houses; it means more demands for
employees on the part of the new bust
ness firms which will occupy the new
stores; it means also increased comfort
for American workingmen, many of
whom will occupy the new and better
houses which will be built with part
of the lumber, they having been ena-
bled so to improve their conditions of
living by reason of the increased work
and the higher wages which have come
to them as result Of the giving back
of the American market to the Ameri
can producer.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. William Morris, supported by
Miss Frances Drake and a capable
company of players. will appear at the
Opera House to-day. matinee and night.
presenting 1.-THE Adventure Of Lady
Ursula" four act comedy drama by
the noted author and playwright, An
thony Hope. The Adventure OF Lady
Ursula" is quite strong and delightful
in its humor and gives that excellent
actor, William Morris, an opportunity
that is really refreshing, and at no time
does he lose the Identity of Sir George
Sylvester. The same style and finish
that is characteristic in all his imper-
sonations are manifested In this. The
comedy deals with the strange vow of
Sir George Sylvester never to permit a
woman to enter his house and never to
fight another duel: also Of the caprices
of Lady Ursula, her wager to enter the
house of Sylvester, her failure, SUISSE
quent success and the reformation of
Sir George. The story is nicely con-
ceived, the play Is deliberately staged
and In fact tits up to the standard of
all the Frohman plays. Miss Frances
Drake, in the role of Lady Ursula, has
made pronounced hit. She tempers It
nicely and makes the character an ideal
one.
