A VERY FOXY SCHEME.
one Figured Out On Paper Whereby
Bliss Might BE Defeated

The Industrious Detroit Tribune
correspondent at Grand Rapids is
authority for this:
1t is probable that William Alden
Smith will have no opposition to his
reelection TO congress this season. 1t
is also possible Gardner in the third,
Hamilton in the fourth, Bishop in the
ninth, Loud in the tenth, Darragh in
the eleventh and whoever may cap
ture the twelfth district nomination
WILDE placed In the same conlforta BILE
position.
This singular situation is not en-
tirely due to the fact that the demo
Gratis see little hope in winning in
these districts 1t is rather because
the democrats hope to keep the re-
publicans at home, thereby making
the vote on the state ticket as close
as possible, through the removal of
the features which would tend TO
bring national issues before the peo-
pie.
In this district it is conceded that no
matter whom the democrats might
nominate William Alden Smith would
be reelected by majority running
anywhere from 5000 to 5000
Leaving the congressional ticket
vacant, it is figured would very ma
terially aid the democratic county
and state ticket in this district by
compelling the republicans to make
theis fight on state issues, the very is
sues they are lamest on. The situa-
tion in this district is so nearly iden-
tical to that in several others that
the same arguments apply
What put this idea into the heads
of the democrats was an incident in
the municipal campaign last spring.
The eighth ward is hopelessly demo-
cratic. The republicans refrained
from making nomination for alder
man in that ward. With no opposi-
tion to their candidate for alderman
the democratic vote fell of about %
per cent and the democratic city
ticket lost 200 or more votes.

woman Badly Burned at Ionia.

At Ionia Wednesday morning a fire
alarm called the department to the
home of Jay McLaren on State street.
The blaze started from an explosion
of gasoline. Mr.. McLaren's mother
was cleaning a bedroom with gasoline
and when she had finished went out
and shut the door. Her grandson,
aged IL years, thought to help her by
moving the bed back into place and
in so doing knocked some matches to
the floor and they were ignited.
He spread the alarm and Mrs. Nc
Laren, thinking of the gasoline can,
went to get it. As she picked it NJ
it exploded, her clothing catching
fire. She got out of the room and eX'
tinguished the fire on her clothing
but not before her face and head and
left arm were badly burned. The fire
was confined to one room and hall.

John Bonds little son, Dwight,
about six or seven years of age, will
be likely to remember his Fourth of
July celebration this year for some
time as he came very near being COM
pletely blinded. Like other young
Americans he was engaged in shoot
ing firecrackers, and had one in each
hand. He lit one and it apparently
went out, whereupon he lit the other
one and was paying all his attention
to that when the first one exploded,
much of the fire and powder flying
directly in his face and eyes. The

At their last meeting our city
fathers passed a new ordinanance
which takes effect Aug lst, by the
provisions of which it is hoped and
expected to secure for the home mer-
chants additional protection against
the itinerant traders and peddlers
who are here today and gone tomor-
row. 1t is a problem how to handle
this question which most cities and
villages give a good deal of atten-
tion in trying to solve, and with but
Indifferent success in many cases.
This new ordnance is practically a
copy of one in use in city in the east
part of the state for some time past
where it is said to have worked very
successfully and satisfactory and it is
hoped it will do so here
