not seek a seat in the United
States senate from Nebraska, even

CASE AFFIRMED.
VAN BUREN COUNTY DRUGGISTS MUST FILE
STATEMENT or LIQUOR SALES.

A Lansing special to the Detroit Free
The conviction of WilliamJ j. Henwood
Van Buren, county druggist who did
not make out the statement To the pros
ecuting attorney of sales of liquor made
as required in local option counties, was
affirmed by the supreme court to-day
Henwood has not been sentenced.
The counsel for the respondent con-
tended that the act of 1899 amending the
local option act repealed the original act
The supreme court thinks not. 1t is said
that the new law of 1899 specifically re-
pealed but one section of the old law, and
this fact raised a clear implication that
no further repeal was intended.
$50 far as the prohibitory feature OF
the law is concerned" says the court
"they remain unchanged except that Sec
ton % is added, the requirements OF
which are cumulative"
1t was claimed that the new amend
ment could not apply to Van Buren, coun-
ty until it had been submitted to vote
of the people. To this contention Judge
Long says: The prohibitory features of
the older act are not changed, and the
only additional requirement imposed on
druggists IS the one requiring the report.
1t was contended that the new section
of the law is unconstitutional, but the
court says that the section only provides
for the exercise of police powers, and is
not in conflict with any constitutional
provision.
The local option laws of the state as
they now stand, are materially strength
ened by the decision of the court.

royal family to Balmoral Prince Albert,
dressed in a simple manner, was cross

thing relating to the management OF
the vessel and, among many other
things, the cooking. Approaching the
galley. where a brawny highlander
was attending to the culinary matters,
he was attracted by the savory odors
of pot of "hodgepodge." which the
highlander was preparing.

Dirty Politics.

In its issue of last week. the Courier
deliberately placed Councilman Rowland
in false light when it said he voted
to pay for the south Kalamazoo street
improvement, with the intent to lead to
the inference that he favored the expense
being incurred The fact is that the
trustee in question voted against the
work being done: as he is not in favor of
reputation, after the majority had voted
favorably and the work had been done,
he did vote in favor of paying the bills.
This is one OF the items of expenditure
that the Northerner considered eXtrava-
CANT, so long as money had to be borrow
ed to pay for it. This work, like much
of the work of the year, far exceeded in
cost the estimates presented to the coun-
ell, and during the year considerable
work was done and money expended by
committees that was never authorized
by the council.
The Courier also drew a maliciously
false inference concerning DIR. Ferguson
as taxpayer The fact is that he has
paid considerable amount of village
and township taxes during each and
every one of the thirteen years that he
has been a respected citizen of this place.
The claim that G. a. Lamberson want
ed to be marshal was absolutely false,
made up for campaign uses only.
Altogether, the Courier's editorial com
ment on village affairs was a little the
dirtiest bit of local politics we have had
in Paw Paw for a long time.

Herrmann's Clever Trick with .
Quart Hottie oi Champagne.
"The late Hermann. the magician"
said George Carroll Of ST. Louis. Il
knew quite well and used TO see great
deal Of whenever he visited my home.
He was a most interesting man and
perfectly wonderful with his peculiar
tricks.
'In connection with his ability to
palm or conceal articles, no matter
what might be their size, l remember a
rather interesting story that used to be
told about him. He was one night at
dinner In one Of the clubs here and
the conversation turning naturally on
palming as fine art. Hermann was
asked by fellow diner IL he could
palm quart bottle of champagne.
Previous to answering the query the
magician pulled up the sleeve of his
coat, exposing his right arm almost TO
the elbow. and then taking bottle Of
champagne in his hand said: TO palm
an object successfully 1t must be suffi-
ciently small. either to be concealed by
the hand itself or by hand and wrist
combined. In the case of a bottle Of
champagne, that. as you will observe,
Is impossible, for the body of the bottle
Is Of too great girth for the wrist to
conceal, and portion will project on
one side or the other or on both sides,
as the case may be. The only way
can think of to dispose Of a bottle Of
champagne is TO do as | now do with
this one-throw II at that waiter over
there
"Suiting the action to the word, he
apparently hurled the bottle with great
force at a waiter standing near the 9TH
er end of the table. The waiter duck
ed. men rose from their chairs with
calculations, and i'm the confusion the
bottle of champagne totally and entire
ly disappeared. Clever, wasn't itT'-

ATTORNEY General Oren has done a
good thing for the state in deciding that
graduates of "diploma mills" like the
"Independent Medical College" of Chica-
go, are not entitled to registration in
Michigan. The lives and health of too
many Michigan people have been jeop-
ardized by quacks from that so-called
college and other similar institutions,
whose only qualification to practice med
icine consisted of their diplomas, beauti-
fully ornamented and printed in a dead
language of which the holders, quite
likely, did not understand a single word,
and which they procured, just as any
other ignoramus could do, for a consider
alton, no matter if they could not tell and
did not know the difference between a
bacillus and a broadax.

Mr.. Beckham, one of the governors of
Kentucky, has procured the arrest of
certain of the republican officials of that
state, as being accessory to the murder
of Mr.. Goebel, another of Kentucky's
chief magistrates. Mr. Taylor, another
Kentucky governor, has taken time by
the forelock, and pardoned the men ar
rested, before they have been convicted
or tried. Kentucky has governors to
spare-perhaps to burn-and yet she is
by far the worst governed state in the
union.
The true northerner., 1900-03-15

That 100000 reward offered for the
conviction of the guilty parties concerned
in the Goebel murder, is enough to
make even an innocent man tremble, if
he should happen to be arrested $780,
600 in the hands and at the disposal of
Kentucky partisans is powerful weapon
and quite as likely to cause conviction of
the innocent, as to bring the guilty to
justice.

SCORPIONS AND FIRE.
The Poisonous Animals Are Particu-
IarIy Sensitive to Heat.

The Poisonous Animals Are Particu-
IarIy Sensitive to Heat.
An interesting question has from
time TO time been discussed by natu-
ralists and Psychologists, as to whether
the scorpion commits suicide by sting
ing himself with his own venomous
dart. Experiments have often been
made, which consist in surrounding
the scorpion with circle of fire, usual
ly formed of small pieces Of burning
Goals.
One may then see the animal agitate
his tail in the air. waving his dart to
and fro over his head in a desperate
movement and finally fall dead, ap-
pearing TO have decided that he could
not escape the flames and to have in
oculated himself with his own venom.
This idea is now. however, found to be
erroneous, as it has been proved that
the scorpion Is not affected by his own
venomous fluid. and the hypothesis Of
his suicide cannot be maintained. It
appears from later observations made
upon the death of the scorpion under
the conditions in question that a more
simple explanation Is 10 be found.
Scorpions are, in fact, sensitive to
heat and are easily killed by temper
ature not exceeding 30 degrees cent?
grade. If one concentrate the solar
rays upon scorpions back by means
of lens. one may observe that he tries
by means of his tail TO remove the
cause Of discomfort. 1t is this move
ment of defense which has hitherto
been mistaken for one of suicide, and
in reality the scorpion has been killed
by the heat TO which he has been ex-
posed under such circumstances
