A bad wreck occurred on the Michi-
gan Central AT buchanan on the morn
ing of the Goth. The fast freight side
tracked for the early westbound ex-
press, backing on to the spur track
VIII ch runs to Lee q Porter's axle
works, two miles distant from the de-
pot. After the express passed, the
freight pulled on to the main track.
Six rear cars broke from the train, the
draw bar pulling out, but the conduc-
tor stopped them with the brakes The
train parted second time, and IL cars
started down the track, which is down
grade al the way, striking six other
cars. All control of them was lost,
and on they dashed at IS miles an hour.
At the axle works four cars and a way
car ran off the end of the track, plow-
ing up the ground 200 feet, striking a
house occupied by VIM. MuolSs. almost
destroying it. The way car forced its
way into the parlor, next to the room
in which the family of five were sleep
ing, and it was by miracle that they
escaped. The furniture in the house
was demolished, but the contents of
the ears were practically uninjured.

Port Huron's Canal.

The Port Huron canal commissioners
held an important meeting on the 18th.
Three routes were submitted by the
city engineer. The route which seems
to meet with most approval is 6,545 feet
long and the average excavation will
be 30 feet. The general impression
prevailed that the canal should be %
feet wide at the bottom, allowing a
stream of water six feet deep. This
would make the surface of the water
81 feet wide 1t will be necessary to
build four bridges, each 900 feet long.
1t is further proposed to secure a right
of way for 200 feet, giving room for a
driveway on each side of the canal

OVID WIN be Dry Thi. Year.

The village council of Ovid some time
ago rejected the liquors bonds of one
McCarty, who wished to engage in the
business at that place. The bond that
was required was to be for Sc, 900, and
at the time the council gave no reasons
for its rejection. McCarty then brought
mandamus proceedings to compel the
acceptance of the bond. Judge Stone
on the l4th held against McCarty, and
Ovid will be dry town this year.
Since rejecting the bond the village
has decided not to have any saloons
there

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

The house accomplished little on the
10th besides passing the senate bill to
incorporate the American National Red
Cross. No progress was made with the
Alaskan code bill, owing to the inabil-
ity of the two sides to agree as to the
time to be allowed for general debate.
The conference report on the District
of Columbia appropriation bill was re-
iected after extended debate.
Not a little stir was caused in con-
gress by the first veto message of the
session, which was sent to the house
on May 4. 1t was the Navajo Indian
bill, winch congress proposed to open
to the operation of the mineral land
laws certain strip of land in the res
ervation in Ari ION a.
The house on the 18th passed spe-
cial river and harbor bill carrying $780,
600 for surveys and emergency work,
and devoted the remainder of the day
to the Alaskan code bill. Four pages
of the 6l7 pages of the bill were dis
posed of before adjournment.
A larger acreage than ever is being
planted to chicory on the muck lanas

The Stomach.

Large portions of the stomach may
be eXciSed. or even the whole may be
removed. with no very great mortality,
and in successful cases with wonder
fully little effect on the patients di.
gestion. The stomach hardly occu-
pies in our present opinion so impor-
tant place in digestion as it formerly
held. We know that it is rather pre-
parer for the exercise Of the digestive
powers of the pancreas than an active
digestive agent itself and that one of
its functions is to render innocuous
many of the micro-organisms which
enter with the food. So we can
understand to some extent the small
amount of interference with digestion
produced by even considerable resec-
tiOns of the stomach.-Lancet.

an got sight of the varmint on the bed.
an she did a thing which no man on
these yere Cumberland mountings
would hev attempted. Thar was no
gun at hand to shoot with, an her only
show was to take that bar by sur
prise. That's what she did. She tip
toed up to the bed an fastened her fin
gers in his fur. an. though he was
hefty load. she carried him to the doah
an dumped him out. l never knowed
she was home till she pulled the bar
away. AS riZ up the astonished var
mint was maxim fur the woods, while
the old woman hadn't even turned
pale.
'Was-was it a bar? 1 asked as
she took off her sunbonnet an began to
clatter the stove.
"'Of co'se,' she keerlessly replied
IAN what did yo' do with him?
"'Jest dumped him outdoahs. Pears
to me yo've bin hevin heaps of fun
Most of yo'r clothes hev bin clawed of,
the bedquilts chawed to rags, an yo'
ar blood from head to heel. Mebbe
yo' was learnin that bar a lot Of

I'm wantin yo' TO help me doctor

also wantin to be forgiven fur my re-

How is it, Zeb? she said as she
turned on me- When the Lawd dun
put a long tail on a coon, was it fur
the likes of pore human critters to kick
about it?

"'An how bout bars? Mebbe yo'

Then I'll warm up some coon's fat

this be a powerful warnin to yo' not to

woods an never even looked at me.
MY rifle was out of order, an my old
dawg had run away. an so 1 couldn't
go strollin through the woods. l sot

tinued the old man as he reflled his

over ag'in the wall with a bang, an
then arter chuckle he'd roll me back

every time he put his claws on to me
they went through the cloth. j be-

times befo' he got little tired of it.
