COL. BREckINRIDGt'S OPINION
On the Future Course of the National
Democratic Party.

Lexington, Ky, June lin reply
to letter asking for his views on the
reorganization of the democratic
party and future issues, Col. w. G. r.
Breckenridge, former democratic con-
gresham, says:
"The American people will never
consent to such legislation concerning
the currency as will put into a statute
the views of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is equally
true that the American people will not
approve of the territorial policy advo.
Gated by Mr. Bryan. For the next few
years the currency issue and the ex-
pansion issue rendered by the demo-
cratic party and accepted by the re-
publican party, have been settled"
In the same letter he says: 1--WE
are therefore confronted with this ac-
tual state of facts. 1t is impossible to
win without such nominee and plat
form as will secure the support of
those democrats who refused to vote
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and
it is also impossible to win without
the cordial support of the regular dem
ocratic party. 1t has occurred to me
that the issue in 1904 might be our re-
lations with our new possessions. That
the principle promulgated by the SUI
rreme court in the late opinions will
he accepted by the people is certain"
After outlining the questions in
tolved Col Breckenridge says: ITO
.dopt this policy does not require that
my democrat should retract any ut
erance heretofore made, or apologize
or any course heretofore pursued"

THE SAGINAW SOUTHERN

Original Intention was to Run Road To
Durand.
From the Lansing Republican.
While nothing definite has yet been
settled, 1t is said work may begin soon en-
the proposed Saginaw Southern railroad.
The original intention was to run it from
Saginaw to Durand and right-Ofway clear
through to that point was secured. 1t was
found, however, that this did not appeal to
the business instincts of capitalists, who
were asked to place their money in the pro-
ject.
Then 1t was planned to cut straight south
from Saginaw to Jackson, and that is where
the line will run to, according to present in
tentions.
The proposed route is identical with an
original one from Saginaw to Chesaning,
where, however, it DIVORCES and runs
through different country straight to
Jackson, taking In Owosso and II Other
towns. The distance will be Sc miles.
The road will run east of and some distance
from the Central All railroad crossings
will be overhead. The right of-way will be
purchased, and the cost of construction is
estimated at about S25, 900 per mile.
A spur will run from Jackson to Lansing,
but this is to be constructed by the other
part of the system.
1t Is proposed to have capital Of about
$1,000, 600 and the money will, it is said,
be ready as soon as one Formally required
by those who are to supply the cash has
been observed, that is what causes the delay
now. 1t is required that 500, 600 worth of
stock shall be subscribed for by Saginaw, or
both there and at other points, which the
road will reach.

REMARKAELE RECORD.
Criminal History of a Man over rs
Years Old,

Grand Rapids. Mich, June 12.-E.
II. Merritt, arrested It Cedar Springs
for'the larceny of a watch, is 70 years
old and has remarkable criminal rec-
ord. In 1859 a man named White
moved on farm near Merritt's place
with his wife and 1S-year-old son.
Merritt and man named Boyd passed
the place when White and son were
digging well. They said they had
killed deer, and if the son would
go with them he could have a share of
the meat. In the woods Merritt shot
the boy and then with Boyd returned
to the house. White saw his son shot
and took refuge in the house, barri-
cading the door and after dark he es-
capped to neighbours house. The next
day Merritt and Boyd were traced to
cabin and there Boyd was found
shot dead by Merritt. Merritt was
finally captured and sentenced to
Jackson for SO years. He was par
doned by Gov Begole, and since then
has lived with a brother in northern
Kent. He refused to discuss his past
record.

First Submarine Gable,

Which was made from an ordinary wire,
insulated with gutta percha, was laid across
the ERglish Channel about fifty years age.
1t was also about the same time that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the world re-
nowned dyspepsia cure, was first intro
duced to the public; and Its success as a
family medicine during those years almost
eclipsed that of the submarine cable, while
today it stands alone as the one reliable
remedy for dyspepsia, indigestion, flatu.
lency, constipation, bliousness, nervous
ness or insomnia. Ii you are a sufferer
from these diseases, it is because you have
never tried the Bltters. Try 1t at once, If
you would be well. 1t will strengthen your
entire system, and produce sound sleep, and
good health must naturally follow.

An Adventure.

Three smart young men and three nice girls
All lovers true as steel
Decided, In friendly way,
To spend the day awheel.
They started in the early morn,
And nothing seemed amiss;
And when they reached the leafy lanes
They in like
rode twos this
They wandered by the verdant dale,
Beside the ripping rin;
The sun shone brightly all the while;
They heard the song birds trill.
They sped through many q woodland glade,
The world was full of bliss
And when they rested in the shade,
Theysat intwos like this !!
The sun went down and evening came,
A lot too soon, they said;
Too long they tarried on the way,
The clouds grew black o'erhead,
Down dashed the rain! They homeward flew,
Till one unlucky miss
Slipped sideways-Crash Great Scott
The lot
neutrality-suspicious.

Death of Representative Doyle, Of
Elsie.

Lansing, June Representative
M. S. Doyle, of Elsie, was found dying
at 10 O'Clock today at the rooms of
Edith Manders, domestic at the
Hotel Wentworth. He had taken a
dose of carbolic acid which the woman
says was administered by mistake. 1t
was about o'clock this morning when
the poison was administered and a
physician was called. He admins
tered an antidote and went away.
Doyle grew worse rapidly and died at
1890 o'clock. The Manders woman
says Doyle called on her last evening,
when he complained of pain in his
stomach. She gave him glass of
whisky and he felt better. This
morning he again wanted glass of
whisky and the woman says she
reached over to the table where two
bottles were standing and poured out
third of glass. "This tastes funny"
Doyle remarked about the time the
woman discovered her mistake and
cried "Stop." Doyle tried to prevent
the woman calling for physician,
saying that he wished to avoid sen.
sation. Doyle was member of the
legislature two years ago and was re-
turned this year. He was about SO
years of age and prominent cheese
manufacturer at Elsie.
Lansing, Mich, June 10.-The po-
lice assert that nothing new has de-
veloped in the investigation of the
circumstances attending the death
of Representative Doyle in this city
last Thursday. Edith Manders, the
woman in the case, is still an occu.
pant Of the Jail. There are various
theories afoat concerning the affair,
but nothing definite. II is known,
however, that Doyle had been in cor
respondence with the young woman,
and that they had certain plans for
the future. Doyle's business affairs
were in excellent shape.

TO SUPPRESS DETAILS
In Order to Wipe Out an Epidemic oil
Suicides


Emporia, Kan, June. IAN cpl
demic of suicides in this town, cul-
minating yesterday in three attempts.
all exact similar to recent successful
suicides, caused the mayor and board
of health to forbid publication of de-
tails Of suicides or attempts in local
papers. The board is acting on the
theory that publication spreads the
contagion of suicide by pyshic sugges-
ton. Mayor Morse contends that the
liberty of the press is secondary to the
public health and is prepared to use
force, if necessary, under the nuisance
act. All the editors, however, have
agreed to suppress details of suicides
or attempts until the epidemic abates.
The epidemic began with the sui
eide of Charles Cross, president of a
wrecked bank, and in the last 80 days
there have been seven cases, three
successful.
