A rather unusual case appeared before
Judge Towner in this city last Thursday.
John j. McVay, man 81 years old
residing near Lewisburg, Wayne county,
had been taken before the insane COM
missioners of Wayne county, adjudged
insane and ordered sent to the asylum,
when it appears he was only possessed
of cussedness. He had on several occa-
sions severely thrashed his father,
Mathew McVay, an old man IS years
old because he would not deed his so
acre farm to the son who resides on it.
After being adiudged insane he secured
Miles & Steel as his attorneys who got
out q writ of habeas corpus and on the
hearing of the case Judge Towner re.
versed the decision of the insane com.
missioners, and it Is said the sheriff then
arrested McVay for assault and battery.
A Jail sentence at hard labor would pro.
badly restore his depraved reason.

upon an amendment to the Morris bill
providing for the publication Of rules and

successful bidders in the way of time and
place of cutting with relation to the date
Of the. acceptance Of the bids. 1t is be-

Eddy declined to say whether he would

A MENACE TO FLOUR
Possible British Preferential Favor
Ing Canadian Wheat
HOW LOCAL MILLERs VIEW IT
Grain Men Say Imperial Customs
Union May Be Far Away

Minneapolis millers say that the propo-
sition Of the Canadian business men for
a preferential duty on Canadian wheat, II
made effective by Great Britain, would
greatly favor the English miller In his
contest with the American flour manufac-
turer for t he trade of the United King
dom. The duty on wheat recently levied
cent of its value at the English port.
Adopting the Canadian proposition would
simply amount to admitting Canadian
wheat free and levying duty on wheat from
the United States, The fact thatthe Eng
lish miller has been able to get Canadian
wheat at, lower price than american
grain during the past year has been
great detriment to the American miller in
the European market. The proposed
preferential would increase the handicap
in favor of the English manufacturer.
Grain men who have studied the situa-
tion doubt whether England will progress
very rapidly toward an imperial CONNER
cial union designed to discriminat e
against her present sources of supply.
They contend that England's diplomacy
has Its ramif1cations through all CONNER
cial problems to such an extent as to him
der the adoption of the Canadian propo-
sition. ~. @
Charles B. Bovey, Of the Washburn-
Crosby company, says:
WV ether there is any immediate prob
ability of an imperial customs union be-
tween England and her colonies or rot the
fact remains that the growth of such SEN
timent in England and her colonies is a
menace to the future of American trade
in the United Kingdom and also in Can
ada. Our lawmakers have always failed
to recognize the fact that the day might
come when our hold on the English mar
ket would be gone. The United Kingdom
and Canada are the best markets our
manufacturers have and every effort
should be made to hold them .--,=~..
