Education in Porto Rico.

The expense OF maintaining schools In
Porto Rico is very high, If we consider the
amount spent for the small humber of pu
pills enrolled; but as that country is grad
ualy brought in closer touch with our OVID,
their system will evidently be changed,
until 1t reaches our present state of per.
lection. In this country the people are
being educated to the fact, that there is a
sure cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, con-
stipatiOn. liver and kidney troubles, aud
that medicine is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. 1t should be taken at the very first
symptom, IL you would avoid unnecessary
suffering. II will give prompt relief and
eventually cure, as hundreds of people, in
Guiding many prominent physicians, have
testified during the past fifty years.

county committee with means of get

town and ward committees, q thing
which under the old system was often
practically impossible. The change is
thus in the first place. one which places
more responsibility in the hands of the
individual republican voters themselves
at their caucuses instead If leaving an
important party office to be filed by a
few of their members while the major.

No change was made in the present or
ganization, which holds over until the
first county convention to be called
next year. The various township and
ward committees hold over for the
same time, no change being made in
anyway in the organization until the
regular time for such change shall
come. The resolutions adopted by the
convention and the resolution adopted
by the state convention as referred to,
are as follows, with the exception that
the resolution was amended so that the
election of the chairman of the county
committee is still left with the county

MISSIONARY FINDS CHINESE
FRIENDLY

Rev. W.. S. Ament Says That Natives
Are Anxious to Settle Converts
Claims.
Boston, Feb. l9.-Rev. Judson Smith,
ID. d., foreign secretary of the American
board, has received a letter from Rev. w
s. Ament, ID. D.. of Pekip, written Dec 81,
before any intimation had reached him Of
the criticisms which have arisen In the
United States concerning alleged footing
and securing excessive indemnities for the
Chinese Christians, and funds for himsel II
and for the treasury of the American board.
His letter shows that no funds have been
secured except for Chinese Christians who
have been injured In person and property.
DR.. Ament says: ''After a month OF
very hard work in our department l am
glad that 1 can report progress to you. l

right and need of such claims. l have
made no use of foreign soldiers, and brought
no external pressure to bear, relying, In all
cases, upon the justice of our claims. Mr..
COnger las supported us In the measures
and methods taken, though the military
people have not failed to make their
criticisms. The survivors in all our country
stations have been recouped for all their
losses, again reinstated In their villages
with some money In hand, and a promise
of houses restored next spring. Over and
above restoration for the converts, we have
gathered In fund for the support of
widows and orphans who have no homes
and no one to look after them. While our
own church is thus fairly we'll provided for,

FARMERS ANNUAL MEETING.

Good Meeting in Corunna Tuesday.

Association Of Farmers Clubs Held a
Good Meeting in Corunna Tuesday.
The annual meeting of the Shiawassee
County Association of Farmers Clubs
opened its sessions in the M E. church
at Corunna Tuesday morning with a
fair attendance which increased as the
dav grew older until a crowd of about
one hundred seventy five were in at.
tendance when the afternoon session
was nicely started.
The singing of America by the
audience and invocation by Rev. Mr..
Mcbride were the opening numbers on
the program. Chairman Thomas Cool.
ing, of Vernon, then appointed COM
mittees on nominations, resolutions,
constitution and bylaws and then the
regular program was taken up.
The first topic was on the subject of
highways and their improvement. Ex-
Supervisor Chas. w. Shipman, of Ven
ice, discussed the subject, referring brief.
ly to the progress which had been made
in years past but he also pointed out
the need for hard work to keep on inn.
proving. He had no changes in the
laws which he advocated but thought
that enough could be done by the better
enforcement of the laws which are now
on the statute books Too large an
amount of the tax is never worked out
at all. In discussing the paper Z. j..
Cook emphasized the opinion already
given as to the tax enforcement of the
road law. He referred to the method
employed in the state of New York
where the work is done under the SUI
pervision of state engineer but did not
wish to be understood as recommend.
ing the adoption of that plan in this
state. The plan of dividing each town
into four parts each under the super.
vision of commissioner working un-
der another commissioner for the whole
township was advocated by another.
The general sentiment was that the
present laws were not pr. ftably en-
forced and that some change either IN
the law itself or in the execution of the
same should be made.
The afternoon session was begun
with discussion of the best methods
to be employed in sheep feeding The
first speaker was Mr.. M. Byington, of
Venice, who is one of the larger sheep
feeders of the county. Mr.. Byington
spoke briefly of some of the things quite
as essential as feed itself, such as kind.
ness, comfortable tho not necessarily
expensive shelter and not so close as to
be- sitting. Plenty of fresh air and
plenty of water were required in the
very beginning. They should also have
salt as often as once or twice week he
thought. In taking lot OF sheep
which had not been fed for the market,
they should not be fed too much on the
start. They had better be fed sparipgy
on hay at first then have few oats
added TO their bill of fare, then perhaps
middlings and bran. and finally corn.
At last they can be safely fed all the
clover hay and corn that they will eat
