campaign speech in the district and
the splendid welcome given him was
a reminder of the past and an evid-
ence of his continued popularity in
Ionia county. All the candidates on
the county ticket were present and
also the two candidates for the legis-
lature.
Short speeches were made by all of
them but interest centered in the
speech of Mr.. Smith who was greeted
with prolonged applause. He was at
his best his speech sparkled with
eloquence and was radiant with force
full arguments, his defense of republi-
can principles was vigorous, his argu-
ment of democratic misrule and mis-
takes effective and comprehensive.

BEAN CROP INJURED
Late Rains has Affected it Ma
terially.

Farmers for Good stock.

Buyer are Paying High Prices to the
Farmers for Good stock.
The late bad weather and continued
rains have made sorry work among
the bean raising farmers in this and
other sections of the country, as 1t
came in time when the harvesting
of that crop was on, and it is very
necessary that beans should be gath
cred and housed with as little damp
ness about them as possible.
Some of the farmers however had
secured part of their crop in excel
lent shape and for beans uninjured
they II ge- big price. Beans are
one of the staple crops or our farmers
and TO have them ruined is serious
matter. There were some pieces that
had been harvested and put under
cover previous to the rains, but only
a small per cent. These, will of
course, be all right, but those which
had been pulled and left out in the
field will in all probability be fit only
for feed. Those still in the ground
will also be damaged for picking, al
though not marketable for the high
est prices. The bean market has
taken a big jump in the past week,
our buyers Wilson & Co., Weter Wise
Co., and f. f Chapple three good
firms who are taking all they can get
of the good stock are paying 81 per

strap Flew Back and Hit Hubbell-
Is All Right Now.

/. L. Hubbell came very near being
obliged to go through the campaign
with a couple of black eyes but
prompt measures avoided it and he
looks as handsome as ever, While at
the Grand Rapids fair last week he
in company with Sheriff Chapman of
Keut county and others stood near
the starting pole at the race track
and when the word go was given fly
strap from one of the race horses flew
off and struck him squarely across the
bridge of the nose and under both
eyes, for five minutes he thought he
was gazing at the stars and the
sheriff took him into physicians
Office. The blow was a severe one and
both eyes began to grow black, RENE
dies were applied to counter against
the color and but very little traces of
the injury were noticeable the follow
ing day.
He says his prospects for being SEN
ator looked very dark for a time but
has now grown brighter.

House Committee Held
Its Last Meeting
Yesterday.
THE MEASURES ACTED upon
Unanimous Consent for Consideration
of Resolution Giving Commissioners
Authority to Make Regulations Dur
ing G. A. R. Encampment to Be Asked

With the exception of joint resolu-
tion giving the Commissioners authority
to make special regulations during the
coming G. A. R. encampment, no more
District legislation will be enacted by
the House at this session of Congress.
The House District Committee met
yesterday and held what will be Its last
meeting this session.
A favorable report was ordered on
Representative Pearre's bill to amend
the act Incorporating the National Flor
ence Crittenton Mission and the commit
tee agreed to report substitute for
Representative Russells bill to regulate
the sale OF viruses. serums, tox-
ms, and analogous products. The
substitute contains essentially the same
provisions as the original bill. with
some added suggestions made by the
Health Office and the City Solicitor.
favorable report was ordered on

Measure Prohibits Sale
Of Beer in Eighth
Barrels.
WILL PREVENT COMPETITION
Measure Passed Yesterday by Unani-
nous Consent-Protests From Small
Breweries and Coopers Received by
Senator Nelson.

The House yesterday under unanimous
consent passed bill apparently innocu-
Gus. but which in effect, it is claimed.
will practically close up the small brew
cries by removing their only means OF
competing with the United Brewers
Association, otherwise known as the
beer trust. and its allied associations.
The bill arbitrarily prohibits the sale
of beer in eighth barrels OF kegs.
The large brewers, according to Rep
resentative Tawney. who reported the
bill from the Ways and Means Commit
tee. do not wish to use the kegs be-
cause. in comparison with the larger
packages, it does not pay to handle
them The small brewer does use them
because that is the only field in which
he can compete with the trust.
If. therefore, the small package were
abolished, the competition of the small
brewers would be wiped out. The con-
sumer who wishes only small amount
of beer would have to buy 1t bottled.
