Ascher Gets "A New Trial.

Edward Ascher, convicted in Wayne
county of the murder of Valmore c.
Nichols, was on the 21st granted a new
trial by the supreme court Ascher's
case attracted widespread attention.
His alleged victim was interested in
spiritualism. He went to Detroit from
near Ypsilanti to consult medium.
He made several visits, and on the
evening of August 10, 1898, he was
robbed and his body thrown into the
river. Stones were attached TO the
feet and bound around with copper
wire. His money was gone, and his
gold watch and other effects were in
his clothes. 1t is claimed that he had
worn a cotton belt containing $500 in
gold about his person. The day be-
fore Nichols was found in the river he
rented boat at Belle Isle, Detroit,
and was then accompanied by man.
partially identified on the trial as
Ascher The supreme court finds err
rors in the trial of the case sufficient
to warrant reversal.

The weekly weather crop bulletin
Of the u. s. climate and crop service,
issued at Lansing on the 2lst, says
that in most sections of the state the
rainfall has been sufficient, but in the
extreme southeastern counties of the
lower peninsula the conditions are al
most droughty. Several sharp frosts
occurred, which were quite general,
but the damage, in nearly all cases,
was very light, and in most counties
confined TO low lands; straw berries,
early garden truck and early potatoes
were affected most; in the extreme
southern counties some early corn was
cut down and will have to be replanted.
Wheat and meadows are generally inn
proved; wheat continues very uneven,
some fields being reported in fine con-
dition, while others are very poor; oats
and barley look healthy, have gener-
ally made slow growth. Pdsturage
has improved. Rye is heading and in
general promising condition. Early
potatoes have terminated nicely Plow-
ing for corn and beans is well adj
vanced in most counties of the lower
peninsula; corn planting is quite gen.
eral and in the extreme southern coun-
ties nearly finished; sugar beet seeding
is we'll advanced and in Monroe county
the early seeding is up, and being cul-
tivated. With but very few exceptions,
correspondents report that fruit pros
poets continue very good.

oatman Ousted From Tax Commission.

The supreme court has ousted Robt.
Oakman as a member of the state tax
commission. The opinion was written
by Chief Justice Montgomery and con-
Cured in by the four other justices.
As soon as the order of the court is
served upon Mr.. Oallman he must re-
linquish his office to VIM. 4. Dust, who
was appointed by Gov. Bliss The
facts surrounding Oakman's reappoint-
ment by Gov. Pingree, his confirmation
by the senate and the immediate re-
consideration of the vote by which
confirmation was had, and the refer.
ence of the appointment to a commit
tee, where it has ever since lain, are
familiar. The contention of Oalman's
counsel was that having once voted to
confirm the appointment the senate
had no authority TO reconsider such
vote. This, the opinion says, is the
most important question in the case.

King Edward had a Narrow Escape.

The most dramatic incident in the
history of the Americas cup occurred
on the 22d when sudden squall on
the Solent completely wrecked the new
challenger and endangered the life of
King Edward and several distinguished
persons, including Sir Thomas Upton.
Sir Thomas calculates that a delay of
three weeks or month in the date of
the contest in American waters will
enable him to come to the scratch. He
says that he is greatly Handicapped by
the fact that he has no duplicate masts
for the Shamrock H., but by an UNI
limited expenditure of money and en-
ergy he believes the defects can be
remedied in time to sail this year.

Fully 1900 acres in the Pecos valley,
south from Roswell to Barstow, Tex,
a distance of 10 miles, will be planted
this year to cantaloupes, with an es-
timated yield of LOCO carloads of the
melons, or something less than car
load to the acre. The crop will be
shipped direct to Chicago, and will
have an average net market value Of
$3.50 a carload-thc minimum a car
load being $500, with a maximum Of
$500.

The state legislatures havo been di-
viding the respective states into con-
gressional districts. The law under
which they are acting calls dis
tricts made of contiguous and COM
pact territory, and containing as near
ly as practicable an equal number Of
inhabitants. The legislatures should,
in fair play, live up to the spirit Of
this law, even if the ways of enforc-
ing it's letter are sh~0uded in some
uncertainty.

CarneEie's Big GIFT Gctsa Cold welcome

Scotland is not very enthusiastic
over Andrew Carnegie's gift of $40, OOO,-
900 to establish free education in four
Scotch universities, Edinburg, Glas-
gov, Aberdeen and st. Andrews. Car
negie stipulated that the benefciaries
be his Scotch fellow countrymen"
only, no English, Irish, colonials or
foreigners. According to the educa-
ton authorities the administration of
Mr.. Carnegie's gift presents consider
able difficulties and for this reason the
Scotch papers for the present, are
rather looking the gift horse in the
mouth, while the English press is in
clined to cavil at the method of Mr..
Carnegie's muniicence

An Outrage Mt Lake Odessa.

A heavy charge of dynamite was
placed under the window of Mrs. Alice
Montague's residence at Lake Odessa
on the night of the Goth, and exploded.
All of the windows of the residence
were torn out and the woman and her
daughter frightened so they have had
a doctor in constant attendance ever
since. Gossip has been running wild
about the woman, and il is evident
that this is the result Mrs. Mon
tague has always born n good reputa-
ton. Her daughter is teacher in the
village schools. Great excitement pre-
walls and arrests may follow.

Already several steam plants have
made experiments with the newly de-
veloped oil found at Beaumont Texas,
as so far the tests appear to have been
satisfactory. The Jennings Electric
Light and Power company put in the
necessary apparatus for using the oil
rs fuel, and began its use in its large
plant, which supplies the town with
light and power. At Houston also ex-
periments have been made in the same
direction and with satisfactory results,
while several of the canal pumping
stations in Southwestern Louisiana
are getting ready to change their fuel
from coal and wood to oil. II after
full and sufficient experiments IL is
fouzd that the Beaumont oil will be rs
cheap and as satisfactory in other re-
spects as coal, there is no telling the
extent of the demand that will be
made upon the oil wells for steam
heating purposes.

In speaking of Denver owning her
public utilities, President Trumbull of
the Colorado Southern railroad per-
tinently said:
Zone of three things is going to
happen in Denver The city will tax
franchises, it will require pay for the
privileges from which the city now
receives nothing, or it will demand a
3-cent fare from lines like the tramway.
One of these things is certain. The
best thought of the country is directed
to this question of rights of corpora
tions and rights of municipalities.
The trend is all in the direction OF
! restraining the power of corporations
like the tramway from interfering with
the city administration. 1t will be
better for the city council and better
for the morality OF the public when
these things are discussed and settled
by the people and the city government
is elected to carry out the will of the
voters. Let the people decide whether
q proposition coming from corpora
ton desiring franchise is fair and
whether it ought to be accepted. I
believe THAI these questions ought to
be discussed in the public forum and
not left entirely to any city council. !"

ONLY the Best Wanted.

The struggle of certain policitians
in the country is to infiame labor
against capital, and to do this there is
always an assumption that it is the
dream and hope of the great capital
lists to reduce labor to plane only a
little above that of a slave. Another
assumption is that the acquisition OF
wealth at once changes the nature OF a
man; that if five years ago he was
working for wages, he must been gentle
and generous then, but that now he
must necessarily be vampire, only
anxious to suck the life-blood from
the poor and honest laboring man.
Now the truth is that the laboring men
get the worst treatment from the farm
ers. From them they get the least

|longer hours than when employed IN
apy other way. The politicians do
not denounce the farmers for oppress-
ing their employees, because they are
too numerous class to attack, and
further the farmers do the best they
can, their rewards being small. But
when men have great industrial enter
prises in their hands, carrying through
business that involves millions OF
dollars annually, they want the most
skillful and reliable men that they can
procure. and for these they are willing
to pay more wages than men IN the
same line ever before received. AS a
rule the managers are men who have
worked up from the ranks: they know
all the wants OF the wage-earner; they
know through what means only the
most capable service can be obtained
they know that servile or inferior Ia
Dor is the dearest in the world, and
hat a concern that trusts costly ma
chinery or the details of great bust
ness to incompetents, is committing
suicide, and that for selfish reasons,
if no others, it is economy to pay the
highest wages andto secure the services
of the ablest men possible.-Salt Lake
