Appreeiative Words for the Congressman
of the Eighth District.

The imprOmptu address delivered by
Congressman Joseph w. Fordney before
the congressional convention which placed
his name again before the voters of the
eighth district has attracted no little atten-
ton wherever report of it has gone. The
following editorial taken from the Cadillac
News and Express, one of the brightest and
best edited papers in the state, as any paper
edited by Hon. Perry F. Powers would
necessarily be, is typical of the way in
which the address has been received every
where. The appreciation shown is Of
course doubly noteworthy coming as 1t does
from without this congressional district:
Zone of the clearest and most convincing
presentations in behalf of the action of the
republican members of congress and the re-
publican administration relative to the Porto
Rcan tariff we have yet read was that
given by Congressman Fordney, of the
eighth congressional district, on the recent
occasion of his unanimous denomination.
Congressman Fordney's address included
every important fact connected with that
incident and gave to his hearers as it gives
to his readers. a comprehensive idea of
all the conditions influencing and govern
ing the action taken. No better campaign
document could be circulated in answer to
all the false charges made by the opponents
of our party than Congressman Fordney's
convention address. The facts he presents
well justify his declaration, that he would
vote forty times again just as he did should
opportunity be given him to do so. Con-
gresham Fordney fully deserved the unani-
nous denomination he received and as we'll
deserves the election which will follow

Hon. Peter White, of Marquette, one of
the democrats who did not support Bryan
in '96, evidently does not intend to help
along the 16 to party this year. Read
what he says: ''But voted for Mckinley
and the republican state ticket in &c.," he
said, and shall continue to vote the repub-
lican ticket, state and national though not
actively assocating myself with party
politics. l wouldn't vote for Bryan If he
was nominated on the republican platform,

will take to the timber and not vote at all.

What German Merchants Think is the
Cause of Our Enormous Prosperity.
No one doubts that this country is on a
most wonderful wave of prosperity. Even
democrats who are not totally blind from
their own peculiar party pessimism cannot
fail to see and believe that we are prosper
ing az never before in the history of the
country and as no other country ever pros
pered In the history of the world. At a
time when In three years the balance Of
trade In favor of this country amounted to
fourteen hundred millions of dollars
against seemingly paltry three hundred
eleven millions for the entire one hundred
years preceding the last three. there
Is little room for discussion of the fact of
our prosperity among men enlightened
enough to speak the word prosperity itself.
The admission that we are prosperous
fairly forces itself from the lips of the most
reluctant democrats while everybody else

A telegram was received Sunday ar
pell, former resident of this county, who
died Saturday night at the home OF his SOD,
Worden r. Chapel, OF Washington, ID. 9.
He had beenNfailing in health for some
Tuesday morning by Mr.. and Mrs. Chapel
and was taken to the home Of Jared
Thomas, where funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. II. G. Northrup
officiating. A service attended by num-
Der of the Shiawassee people living at the

The Knights Templar to the number of
about sixty turned out In full uniform Sun
day to listen to an Ascension Day sermon
by Rev. Carlos II. Hanks i'm the Congrega-
tonal church in this city. The order made
the usual imposing and pretty appearance,
both on the street and within the church.
The Congregational choir had prepared
especial music for the occasion and Miss
Kanagy sang a solo. The sermon was one
OF the most inspiring for the development
of life along the lines of the truest manhood

spirit of the TRANSPORTATION mount into the

established from his jury pratice that
he was urged to take the nomination as
representative to the state legislature
where his friends felt that he m ust
necessarily become of greater value to
the people whom he represented He
was elected and served thruout the term
in a way which no one has ever heard
described other than in words of praise.
In 1892 he was the almost unanimous
choice of his party for prosecuting at
|torney. He was elected by large ma
jority, reelected by a still larger ma
jority, and then urged to make a third
run with the assurance held out before
him thatrhis third majority would be
the largest of them all, but he declined
to allow the conduct of that Office to in
terfere longer with his private practice.
Since that time he has twice con-
sented to act as the city attorney for
the city of Owosso, that not interfering
to such an extent with his private prac-
tice, and it may be said here that in
every one of these important public
positions which he has occupied he has
served to more than the mere satisfac-
ton of the people to whom he has de-
voted his time and ability.
Two years ago Mr.. Watson was
unanimously chosen chairman of the re.
publican county committee and proved
by his conduct of vigorously fought
campaign the wisdom of his party's'
choice. At the recent county conven-
ton he was unanimously reelected to
the same important position, the Office
again seeking him rather than he seek
ing the office. Besides the important
service which he has given the party
however he has shown il other ways
his public spirit and his disposition to
be of the greatest use to society. AS
master of the Masonic lodge in this city
he did work which will ever cause his
name to be remembered by his associ-
ates in the work of that order, while he
is still an active helper in lodge work.
He is also prominent member of Co.
runna Commandry Knights Templar.
In every respect thruout his official
and social life he has shown himself
keenly alive to his duty. He has been
active in the prosecution of law break
ers, yet he never made sacrifice of the
tax payer to aid him in making record
In the prosecution of cases where the
chances did not seem favorable enough

He is ready thinker, yet

The record he has made, and while she
feels that the record which she has in
the past for long succession of big
republican majorities would justify her
in demanding attention for her candi-
date, she does not feel that such course
should be necessary. She feels that in
the name of this citizen of
hers, Hon. Frank H. Watson, to the
state convention as a candidate for the
office of Attorney General she is offer
ing another valuable service to the
party, in line with the majorities she has
always rolled up, rather than in any
sense asking favor. And she therefore
unites with all the enthusiasm warrant
ed by good cause in urging on the
of her son.

The star dressing room at the Craw-
ford theater was a scene of animation
for several minutes last night A single
man was responsible for it, and the
most casual observation might easily
have resulted in the discovery that he
needed no assistance. He propelled his
small and rather heavy set body across
the space between the walls of the box
like apartment, while his arms cut all
manner of diagrams in the surrounding
atmosphere, and the big mirror on the
side wall caught reflections of him as
he passed.
Zach Colt, it is fearful he cried. ct

people do not go wild. What do they
do? They sit still and tap, tap, tap with
their hands, and think I should be sat

should have gone wild over il, but no.
they only sit and tap with their hands,

EXCELLENT CONCERT.
Large Audience Hears and Appre-
ciates De Pachmann.

De Pachmann, the great master Of
the piano and the eccentric genius, once
said:
1.-THE piano is an instrument of mel
ody and not of effect"
In saying this the celebrated Russian
musician explained his own playing. In
it effect has no place and melody is
absolute.
Musical education is not necessary
for the appreciation of De Pachmann's
performance. Understanding of artis-
tic detail may enhance the enjoyment
of hearing him, but it is not necessary
for its production. His, playing com
bines remarkable expression with won
derful depth of feeling, which appeals
to the musical taste inherent in hui
man nature.
De Pachmann seems to forget all but
his art while he is playing. He is a
listener as we'll as a performer. The
various touches of his fingers and the
varying tones of his instrument are
almost reflected in the expression of his
face. His hands caress rather than
strike the keys. He watches his instru-
ment as though it was something hu-
man.
His programme at the Crawford
theater last night was an arrangement
of rare selections. The latter portion
was devoted to Chopin exclusively, and

construction of a telegraph over that
portion of the Russian dominions east

PRISON DOORS CLOSED.
State Penitentiary Guaranteed
Against All Kansas.

Sheriff Cook has received notice from
Warden Tomlinson, of the state peni-
tertiary, that he will receive no more
prisoners for the present until the Gu
ban chickenpox epidemic has abated. In
other words the penitentiary is quaran-
tined. The quarantine applies not only
to Topeka, but to the entire state, and
similar notices have been sent to the
sheriffs of all other counties.
If a man is anxious to break into the
state penitentiary now it will be i'm
possible for him to do so, and the near
est he can come to it is to get into the
county jail, until the quarantine is
raised.
There are at present no prisoners in
the county Jail who have been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary, but there
are some who are waiting for their SEN
fences, and there will proably be more
within a week or two. If the quaran-
tine is not raised soon there will be
quite an accumulation of candidates for
Lansing in the county Jail
The quarantine does not apply to the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, so
it will not interfere with Joseph Leach
States Marshal Prescott will take
Leach over to Fort LeaVenWOrth to-
morrow morning.
Then penitentiary authorities are
very anxious that the chickenpox shall
not get into that institution, because it
would be very hard to control there,
and they are not very anxious to have
two or three hundred men down with a
contagious disease at one time.
